It was a big news week for Covid-19.  The economic recovery stocks bounced on Monday’s news from Pfizer, but the market has generally chopped back and forth since.  There is a real struggle going on between the recovery stocks and the stay at home stocks. Do we focus on positive vaccine news or do we look at the insane Covid data?  There’s no doubt we’ll see more shutdowns before consumers are truly comfortable spending money and leaving their homes, but will the market care?  Will the market just look past the dark winter and focus on the post Covid world?
