Don’t feel bad if you didn’t expect the stock market to cheer this week. No one can accurately and reliably predict short-term movements. No one I knew predicted the announcement of a Covid-19 vaccine from Pfizer, and the equities that rallied after that news might not have been the ones you might have expected.

If you have money on the sidelines, this is likely a good time to talk with your financial advisor about what to do with it.

Things are changing, and opportunities may abound in times of change. Consider calling your advisor!
