I know enough to know I can't beat the market in normal times. Now? I'd lose my shirt three times over.

It will be interesting to see what happens when we work our way out of this pandemic, which isn't going to happen anytime soon.

With that being said, I don't think the comparisons some are making to 2008 are necessarily applicable. The recent market crash is the result of a self-imposed shutdown of the economy. In 2008, the very core of our economy came crashing down like a house of cards with the collapse of the housing market and financial institutions.
