Amid these grim and uncertain times, and the signal (and, in this case, bipartisan) lack of leadership from City Hall up to the White House, it’s no surprise that people are looking for some solid ground, some certainty, some kind of sure thing. Investors are people, and feeling extreme seasickness from the dizzying ups-and-downs of the markets over the past month-plus, are also looking for something, anything that’s a guaranteed win. Like, say, an Italian mask maker. Or Jim Bakker’s colloidal silver. Or that video app that everyone seems to be using to retain some semblance of human connection and an economy, even if it’s got some problems and, oh yea, you’re buying the wrong Zoom.
