Quote of the Day
"There have been many market regimes in the century of data upon which most major investment factors are based. It may just be that the unique nature of the Covid-19 shock was perfectly designed to short-circuit many of them — and the effect will fade as the pandemic eventually recedes."
(Robin Wigglesworth)
