‘Times they are a changin’ – Bob Dylan. They say time never waits for anyone. It’s always changing. Bob Dylan may have immortalized this fact through a song that was released way back in 1964 but even today we must all play catch up with the fast changing world all around us. Even if 2020 began pretty normally with the hullabaloo of a new year and prospects of a great year, by March, most of us realized that it is going to be the worst year in our collective living history.

I would describe my outlook on the market as long-term bullish, short-term anxious. This might sound contradictory, but it's not. I bet there are a lot of investors out there who feel strongly that stocks are going to be higher 20 years from now, and yet you wouldn't know it by looking at their portfolio, or by their trading activity.
