I see a significant downturn in the economy but a bigger surge coming out of it by August. 


I'm not so sure about a surge in 2020.  My thought is people are not being able to save up during this downturn because they aren't needed at work (hourly folk in service and manufacturing) or can't work due to closures, so they will not go out to buy stuff like crazy after the social distancing is over since they don't have money to spend.  In this situation, real productivity is taking a direct hit.  I have proven repeatedly to not be able to predict the market, so it's likely I'm wrong (I sincerely hope so).

I am curious as to what makes you think there will be surge in the economy by August?  Intuition, #thoughtsandprayers, experience, or ???

I think everyone is overreacting, including myself;  We are giving up 'living' to extend some lives.

Plus "work" from home and still getting paid ..you are living the dream!  Are you buying a lot of stuff, or saving up to buy something?

WFH is saving me at least $12 per day, maybe more...off course I worked from home at least two days a week anyways.

Investors are looking to put their money to work but overly cautious.  When this is over, the stock market will rebound and confidence will be on the upswing.  People that have been isolated will get out and spend money.  There will be a portion of population that this crisis will hurt but that happens every time.

There’s a couple of summary clips that were really good. I’m on mobile right now but they’ll show up on YouTube if you click that video.
