The search term "the great depression" has spiked recently. People are worried, understandably so, that we are about to experience something similar to the worst economic calamity in modern times. I'm going to tell you why these fears are misguided. In 1932 there were roughly 75 million Americans over the age of 21. 11 million were unemployed. We've seen a huge spike in unemployment recently but this is likely to be short lived.

In just over a month, the S&P 500 fell 34%.* Does this mean that the bull market is over? On the one hand, this alone should be enough to render the bull market dead, on the other, stocks also fell 34% in 1987 and yet you never hear people talk about the bull market of 1982-1987 and the bull market of 1987-2000. They talk about the bull market of 1982-2000.

On a recent podcast, Patrick O'Shaughnessy asked Gavin Baker : "How do you square these two concepts of monetary and fiscal support with a really nasty small business situation" Here was his response: This is the irresistible force meeting the immovable object. We have the biggest, sharpest GDP decline in history, this is absolutely unprecedented. This is not a financial crisis where credit issues are transmitted to the real economy.

For young people who have been contributing to their 401(k) over the last ten years, they've seen nothing but gains.

Markets don't have to make sense, but I'm struggling with this. We have what will potentially be the deepest economic contraction of our lifetime and the S&P 500 just rallied 28% in 13 sessions, leaving the index only 17% off its all-time high. A few obvious things going on: The Fed is taking unprecedented action. Maybe liquidity matters more so than the underlying economic reality.
