Why would we sell stocks if there’s looting, riots, 40 million unemployed, 30%+ decline in GDP, worst earnings since 2008, and economic shutdowns across the world? The Fed will fix it!

Stock market investors don't care that riots and looting just made the recession worse, guaranteed that fewer small businesses reopen, and saddled those that do with higher insurance costs. Rising unemployment and consumer prices don't matter when the Fed can just print money.
