The stock market’s historic bull market has come to a screeching halt.
We all knew that at some point it would end, but not as dramatically as it has.
For some reason, it made me think of the song Spinning Wheel by Blood, Sweat & Tears.
Fortunately, a look at the history of the stock market indicates that at some point the market will come back, and achieve record highs once again.
Knowing this made me think of the following song, which is perfect in this time of stress and uncertainty:
High Hopes – that’s exactly what we need right now…
The video is blocked, but I remember the line, What goes up, must come down.”

Usually, that’s because you are in a country with different YT agreement. I could open it. Are you not in the US?

I think it was the video I originally posted, since I had the same problem when I checked again. The new video seems to work fine.

We are in strange, uncharted areas, but the market will certainly recover long-term. The question is will society recover? Just glad to have you back!

thanks, Brad. It’s good to be back. But it is a strange time, and perhaps when it is all over, we might have a kinder, gentler world…

My high hopes are for some leadership out of Washington. But I fear that those hopes are unlikely to be realized at the Federal level. The current occupant of the White House is more concerned about the stock market than about managing the pandemic and preparing for what seems to be clearly headed our way. Such leadership would be mobilizing national resources for the provision of ventilators, face masks, medical equipment and emergency training of health care providers.

there’s no doubt he’s the wrong person for this crisis; let’s hope we get it under control despite his lack of leadership

The perfect time to buy I suppose? I wonder if they will close the markets?

High Hopes is a great song. And I’m sure the market will be reaching new highs before we know it!
