But we’re not in Kansas anymore, and unfortunately for stock prices, the Federal Reserve’s best efforts are not enough to sustain a bull market.

Despite this, there are things you can do to thrive in this environment.
The Fed Is Helpless … But You’re Not
I’m not a pessimist by nature. I’m by no means a permabear. But we must consider the real-world economy when we invest in companies. Just like you, I want the economy to open back up tomorrow, but it’s going to take time.

But you can take advantage of this situation by taking some simple steps.
