2. The Stock Market Is Not a Magic Money Machine
Americans disobey. They don’t follow rules. They don’t follow guidance. I had to pick up some medicine at the vet’s office for one of my cats the other day, and there were hundreds of cars on the road—just like any other day. — Jared Dillian
3. Dow Gone Wild! How To Deal With This Volatility
Volatility? I’ll show you volatility! Certainly, you have felt that movement. We all have. But when we look at it more closely, we find something surprising. As volatile as this market has been, it may actually be even MORE volatile than we even realize. — Rob Isbitts

8. 8 Ways Advisors Can Keep Prospecting and Servicing Clients Through Social Distancing
Traditionally, being a financial advisor has been a face-to-face business. We are creatures of the working lunch, the handshake, the coffee meeting.

9. The Future of the Financial Markets; After COVID-19
This global pandemic is not a Black Swan event - an unpredictable event that is beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has potentially significant rewards or consequences.

10. During This Crisis, No One Is Looking for a Fiduciary

11. Trillions of Dollars of Coronavirus Aid Appears … From Where?
These are extraordinary times. No one can remember anything like this, except maybe those over the age of 80.
