With all of this COVID Scare, the market has been thrashed over the past 2 weeks. A month ago, a day +\/- 100 would envoke emotion (elation\/fear). Today, the new norm is a fluctuation of 500 – 2000 points. It’s crazy – and people have been panicking. Panic is the word – the lever, the ‘GO’.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, I get my annual bonus. I have been waiting for this, doing due diligence over the past 2 weeks.
