As we have been communicating with clients extensively over the last three weeks during this extremely volatile market, we have been deeply encouraged by the generally calm attitude most have maintained, despite the markets being anything but!

‘Twas the start of the madness and all through the land,
People sat in front of the TV with beer and hot wings in hand.
But no brackets to bet on, no games this year
Everyone quarantined with virus fear.
Tired of healthcare and stock market news,
I wanted some fun to shake off the blues.
We often compare the stock market to a rollercoaster ride, and with good reason. Think back to the last time you actually rode a rollercoaster … What was it like as the ride climbed up to its high point? Rather gradual, wasn’t it? And then, when it reached the top and started down?
As we think about the last couple of weeks in the market, we may be tempted to remember the Chinese curse: “May you live in interesting times.” Without a doubt, the last two weeks have been especially interesting—maybe more interesting than some of us would prefer!
Several years ago one of my sisters sent me the following poem. It meant a lot to me, and I wanted to share it with you today:
We all love Christmas. Halloween is scary sweet.
I’m thankful for Thanksgiving, boy how we eat!

Significant wealth can reduce many of life’s trouble—but it can’t eliminate them entirely. Even the richest among us have fears.
What’s more, they often share many of the same worries the rest of us have.
