Full-blown crisis or long-term opportunity?

THE current market probably has two camps: the extremely fearful and the extremely greedy. The stock market sell-off resembles the sharp pandemic sell-off five years ago. While much has changed since then, there’s one similarity – the same US president triggered both.
