Welcome to another minisode! This week, Danielle shares some quick tips and stories about the stock market, the 2007-2009 financial crisis, and the best kind of investment strategy you can use, pandemic or no pandemic.

Look, we get it. It’s terrible when someone loses everything in a recession or stock market downturn. And you’re probably thinking about this stuff more frequently right now thanks to the coronavirus. However, you’ve gotta remember the other side to those horror stories: the people who lost everything probably bailed at the bottom of the market. That means they didn’t have anything invested when it skyrocketed to all-new heights.

In this minisode, Danielle debunks the idea that everyone “lost it all” in the Great Recession, and what’s really going on when someone warns you away from investing.
