We’re reminding clients, “Cool heads will prevail!”
The global COVID-19 virus has created a difficult situation for all of us. In addition to the tragic human toll, containment efforts and uncertainty have caused significant economic disruption globally and driven stocks into a bear market for the first time in more than a decade. We will get through this, but it remains tough to see the other side from where we sit today.
Over the short-term, we will most likely experience more volatility, but we follow statistics that show us what has happened over the long term: US markets always recover.
While you’re staying in, here are some things we suggest:
Our team came up with some ideas/recommendations to help you pass the time and keep your stress level low.
- Pray
- Exercise
- Eat well: Watch your sugar intake and meal prep to reduce trips to the grocery store
- Simplify

- Read a good book
- Scrapbook
- Organize family photos
- Call a friend you haven’t spoken to in a while
- Check on the elderly
- Make a list of everything you have be thankful for (write it down)
- Write an encouraging letter and mail it to someone you love
- Keep a journal… It may be interesting to look back on!
- Tackle the household chores you’ve been putting off
- Indoor plant upkeep
- Keep your spending in control
