I am a medium risk investor and will not need these funds for 5+ years.
Thanks, and stay safe everybody!

Few know anything about a pandemic. It is hard to get your head around all the impacts even for smart investors. So I don’t think the market knows how to price in the risk. Many companies going bankrupt. Many jobs never coming back. Mass dislocations.
