Today’s topic is all about investing through a global pandemic.

• On February 13, 2020, we released a podcast episode entitled “Investing is Boring” where we discussed the evidence behind our investment approach, and why investing shouldn’t be a thrill ride. Then, the entire world changed.
• Today we’re going to be talking about whether or not we’ve modified our approach, and what we’ve been up to for our clients.
• Also, we’re going to talk about the disconnect between the market and the economy. Why has the market recovered much of its losses while unemployment has skyrocketed?
  
   

Discussion topics:

• Who saw this coming?
• What has surprised you most about the way the market has reacted as of today?
• Why is it so tempting to want to make predictions about a totally unknowable future?

Take Away:  Have an investment plan that you are confident in no matter what happens in the world, then stick to it.
