2020 2nd Quarter Commentary: “Another Ride on the Roller Coaster?”

Adding to Stocks During Covid-19

By Blog
The spread of Covid-19 has been referred to as a “black swan” event by some, meaning an occurrence with potentially severe consequences that were unpredictable. The consequences have certainly been severe with disruption to jobs, schools, and everyday life (though health experts would argue whether this was unpredictable).
