I wasn’t really in the markets back in 2020 during the whole COVID crash, but this 2025 tariff war situation feels absolutely insane. The market’s been swinging like crazy — up 4%, down 2% the next half hour — all because of some tweets.
For those of you who were active in 2020, how does this compare? Was the COVID crash just pure panic and straight-line down? Or does this current rollercoaster of geopolitics and economic retaliation feel even more unhinged?
Really curious to hear what it was like back then, and how you’d compare the two.
