Market reminds me of the "eye of the storm" feel we had after Bear Stearns in 2008.
In the two months after Bear rescue, $SPX rose 12% while $VIX collapsed from 32 to 16. Lots of talk about green shoots and what not. Got a little more difficult after May…

Have a good friend in multi family. Said requests for rent reductions, delayed payments, and partial payments are soaring. He’s very worried. All his properties are levered to the nill too. Big bank loans on all of them.
