It’s been a crazy, wild, wacky, tragic, ~unprecedented~ year.
And @justLBell and I have written some 🔥 notes as we’ve tried to make sense of it all.

Some background: we're a team of two writing research for a scrappy lil brokerage.
When I started in February, our plan was to eventually put out weekly notes as we built out our content.
A few days later, the market peaked. And we wrote our first of many weekly notes.

(you know that saying, the best laid plans often go awry?)
Anyways...

This was our first market note, on February 28.
Back when we knew we were on the verge of a big historic event and we had to write *something* about it.

Two-ish weeks later, the Fed called on emergency meeting on Sunday to cut rates to zero.
We threw together this note on a Sunday night, then I promptly rushed to the bank to take out cash.
(I know, I know, not cool. Even finance people panic sometimes)

Back up three days, when the S&P 500 fell into a bear market (20% decline from a peak) at the fastest pace in history.
We put together a banger on the history of stock market bears, and why it's best not to fear the bear when you've got time on your side

Things got scary in the market for a few weeks. The S&P 500 moved 5% EACH DAY in the week (before it ultimately bottomed on March 23, but ofc we didn't see that coming)

Stocks rebounded in April, thank goodness. But the market mayhem wasn't over.
Oil prices fell negative. We were like WTF! then we put together a little explainer to walk through how that was possible.

Then, as the world watched a fiery hot stock market recovery, we wrote a little thing on $AAPL's stock split & why splits could come back in style during a big wave for individual investing.
Four days later, $TSLA announced its own split.

Aaaaaand if 2020 wasn't crazy enough, it was the hottest year for IPOs in recent memory.
We dug into the trend of going public, and what you really should know about hot IPOs (many don't stay hot forever).
