Right now, the market futures are up, up, up! And if you expect that to last...right, wrong, maybe!
A rebound is normal after such a fall, but not usually back anywhere near the starting point. And reality has not been suspended--the virus is still pandemic, business (and people) are still going to take a major hit for weeks if not months and the oil price war is still on.
It's a bit like 9/11--terrible things have happened and we don't know what's going to happen next.

Try to get out into nature and hold tight to the people you love. Breathe.
