Conventional Wisdom

The stock market continues to defy logic, or perhaps just conventional wisdom. Yes, companies and the economy broadly had a bad second quarter. Yes, ultimately most will recover. Will they fully recover? What sort of time frame to get back to pre-covid performance levels? Most will agree things will be different on the other side of this pandemic, but how? Will there be an employment recovery, too, or will some dislocation be permanent? Plus, of course, Congress chose to ‘go on vacation’ rather than address a further stimulus package. When you think conventional wisdom, you think uncertainty is problematic. Still, the Dow had another up week, ending at 27,931.02, up 497.54 for the week – 1.8%. So, if conventional wisdom no longer applies, how do we make sense of where this is heading? I suggest you take in multiple perspectives and form your own opinion.
