Keep investing, keep, compounding ... the world has been through way more severe events than this

So... you’ve been buying “defensive stocks”, any reason why you haven’t been buying inverse ETFs?

In 2007, I was the PR Manager for the Better Business Bureau serving Oregon and Southwest Washington. Our Business of the Year was the Bank of Clark County (Washington not Nevada). One of my duties was event planning for the entire awards luncheon.

A year later, the bank was shut down by the FDIC.

In fact, NPR even ran an entire Planet Money episode about it (no joke: https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=102384657).

Sometimes, history doesn't just rhyme, it outright repeats itself.
