You’ve likely been watching the news as we have, and have seen the worries about the spread of COVID-19 along with the shelter in place put into order in California. I understand that times like these can cause uncertainty and worry and given the current market condition, a bit of unease with the unknown. Its times like these that we believe knowledge and information is power and the calming voice of industry professionals with decades of experience can help. Which is why I highly recommend viewing the webinar below. It comes with slides, charts and commentary from our Investment Committee and top Raymond James executives and discusses how this situation continues to affect the markets in the short term and how our professionals see the recovery looking.
