![]() March was the wildest ride for the stock and bond market I have seen in the 25 years I have been in the business. Headlines range from anywhere between equity and small cap markets having the best weeks in decades to the rising number of people filing for unemployment. So what really happened in the market? Is it a tough place to thrive, are we crushing it or is it a bit of both? Topics:

![]() Today I dissect the largest fiscal rescue/stimulus package we have ever seen. Will it be enough? The CAREs Act includes financial rescue options for individuals and businesses. The options for small businesses can be very confusing. Can the SBA even handle the process? Eventually the stock market will bounce back and this will end up being a blank spot in the “timeline” of credit market; in terms of loan and mortgage payments. Today I discuss the issues that CFP®s, CPA’s and lawyers are trying to figure out. Topics include:

This quarter was the most volatile in my 25 year career. The S&P 500 jumped 5% from the beginning of the year to 2/19 then dropped -34% until the recent bottom on March 23rd at which point the market rebounded 15% by the end of March. The S&P 500 is down 20% since the start of the year and small and mid-cap stocks are down even further. The bond market also declined and had the most volatile ride I have ever seen until the feds put in a “backstop” on March 23rd. Listen and find out where I see value, how I am rebalancing and how I am tax loss harvesting. I also talk about the CARES Act and how it helps reduce taxes on RMDs for retirees and provides funding for small business.
