But these platforms are still relatively new and haven’t historically been where people went to find views on the market. Melissa Caschera, investment advisor at BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. in Windsor, Ont., says she’s been through multiple downturns with many of her long-term clients, but the current environment stands out for its comparison to the early 1980s recession.
