Despite faminemania being concocted by the Democratic Party. The truth is 90% of the news of late around the pandmemic has been positive. I will not lie. What happened in March scared the hell out of me. I could have envisioned a '29- '39 scenario, and even worse. Yes, we still have to somehow come to our senses, as far as reducing the national debt, but at least on the short term, what we have seen in the past 5 months has been nothing short of remarkable. This has all the hallmarks of the greatest "V" shaped recovery in economic history.
To kind of put it into perspective.... Here is a comparison of markets at the 3rd week of March vs. today.

March. Today. Increase/Decrease
S & P- 2192 3374.
+53%DJIA- 18213. 28112.

+65%Gold. (oz.) 1478 1988.
+35%Oil bbl 21.54. 42.70.
+98%VIX. 65 21.
-67%Now the down side. I see absolutely nothing decent to invest in. If I had been 20 years younger, I'd gone all in late in March. In retirement? No way. One of my kids did go all in, and he has let all of us know it. (often)
