Secrets to Tom Russo’s Decades-Long Success Part 2: The Pandemic Era

There's no doubt that 2020 was a strange year for the markets. The first quarter took a massive bite out of everyone's portfolio, but once the markets moved past the initial shock of a global lockdown, stocks recovered quickly.

This piece is part two of a very in-depth walkthrough of some of Russo's letters over the years. You'll find part one here (1993-2016), part three here (The Post-Pandemic Era), and part four here (Lessons from Tom Russo).
