In The U.K.’s Idyllic Coastal Area Of Cornwall, Coronavirus Draws Battle Lines Between Tourists And LocalsLisa Shalett was already cautious about the market in the fall of 2019. Shalett, the chief investment officer for wealth management at Morgan Stanley, says her firm believed the S&P 500 was “frothy” in October when it first hit 3000 points.

He also rejects the notion that there will be a “v-shaped” recovery, expecting more of a “square root,” - a drop to the bottom followed by a move up into a plateau as the economy recovers slowly.
He says a financial advisors’ job has become more about managing emotions as they try to prevent clients from panic selling.
