Today, we talk about the top 5 blog post of the year 2020. The Top 5 is the most popular post – the difference between write-downs and impairments. Although, it may have been a crazy year on many levels.

The pandemic beginning for most of the world in March caused mass lockdowns, fear, business closures, job losses, and bankruptcies. And currently, there was a major market crash in March that led the market to fall 6,400 points or 26% in a matter of days.

It was so bad, that it was the fastest fall in global stock markets since the crash in 1929 that led to The Great Depression.

In between, we had racial injustice issues in the United States leading to riots and protests. The most toxic presidential election in the United States history. And now lockdowns again as we head into 2021 due to the still rapidly increasing cases of the coronavirus, and subsequently leading to daily death tolls that could surpass 3,000 per day for 90, or more days according to the Director for the Centers of Disease Control (CDC).

Apparently, this year has been hard, to say the least for most of us.

But in terms of the market and what we talk about here on the blog; furthermore, it’s been mostly back to normal since about May. After the initial set of stimuli by governments and Federal Reserves worldwide stabilized. Hence, it saved the world economy for instance from collapsing, stock markets worldwide roared back.

As of this writing, the markets now surpassed 30,000 points for the first time ever and are still sitting near an all-time high.

See Data Below:

In fact, the market has been historically volatile.

But that doesn’t mean your stock hasn’t gone up if you’ve kept investing.

In the meantime, let me do my full end-of-year portfolio review in January sometime where I’ll share the early results of the portfolios I manage. And thereafter, everything else me and my team accomplished this year.

But as we head into the Christmas and New Years’ break, I wanted to take some time and recap the top 9 blog posts from this year as I always do this time of year.

• A) So and my team can take a bit of a break to spend with our families and unwind.
• B) To help recap some of the best blog posts from the year… Because we post a lot and if you don’t read the blog or subscribe to our podcasts or YouTube channel you might have missed some of the most popular posts from this year.

I hope this helps you during this break to continue improving and growing as we head into 2021.

Thank you so much for being part of this Journey.

And I look forward to helping you even more in 2021.

Always In Your Service,

Jason Rivera
