Patience is the only tool we have at the moment. At some point the virus will be under control, and a recovery will begin. Hopefully it’s sooner, but in any case it will happen. Investors should focus on making sure their portfolios are properly constructed so that when recovery occurs, they will be positioned to participate.

One of the biggest lessons from the 2008 financial crisis still holds true: Sticking to your long-term goals, and having an investment strategy to match, will get you where you want to be.
