If 2020 could be summed up in one stanza, it would be, “the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.”

Last year, at this moment, I was trying on my flapper dress and getting prepared to greet the modern-day roaring twenties. I rang in 2020, in a crowded restaurant, dressed in flapper garb, popping open the champagne and drinking the giggle water like it was 1925.

Two and a half months later, my gym membership was on hold, my favorite restaurants were forced to close, business contracts were suspended indefinitely, my kids were being schooled from their bedrooms, I was attending conferences in pajama bottoms and, for some inexplicable reason, toilet paper became a tradable commodity.

What began as an inconvenience, quickly turned into a never-ending dystopian B-rated horror flick. Well, for most people, anyway. There were a privileged few who benefitted immensely from endless lockdowns and constant fear mongering.

Inmates received early releases from prison – especially if they were “big boned”. Yes, in 2020, instead of contrition, parole became contingent on weight – even for terrorists. And, it was not because larger criminals are easier to spot and slower to get away. It was simply what seemed to make sense to some – in 2020 BIZARRO WORLD.

While convicts roamed free, law-abiding citizens were mostly confined to their homes. Fortunately, they were granted a few liberties here and there, such as choosing what color face covering to wear while dutifully serving the maskless political elite who were busy smuggling haircuts, traveling at will, and brazenly dining out in 5-star restaurants with their 15 deepest pocketed co-conspirators.

For publicly-traded corporate conglomerates, COVID was the gift that just kept on giving. Sales escalated and stock prices rocketed – all at the expense of small businesses which just so happen to employ the majority of America’s workforce. Again, perfectly logical – in 2020 BIZARRO WORLD.

As local economies closed, globalized capital markets soared. Main Street was being decimated by night, while Wall Street rallied by day. Unbelievably, the public responded to their neighborhood wreckage along with the nonstop warnings of imminent COVID death by PURCHASING STOCKS! Only in 2020 BIZARRO WORLD would it be completely rational for the distraught, panic-stricken soul to seek console from a “stockbroker”, or more accurately, a robo-advisor.

New account openings for robo-advisors surged in 2020. According to data and analytic company Hearts & Wallets, 8% of American households now have a robo-advisor account. And, no, those accounts are not just sitting idle. According to Citadel Securities, retail investors now account for as much as 25% of the stock market’s activity, up from just 10% in 2019.

As retail raced to buy stocks, institutional investors decided it was finally time to chase some of that “rat poison squared”. BIZARRO 2020 turned out to be THE breakout year for bitcoin, as was forecasted by Tim Peterson, Investment Manager, Cane Island Global Macro, back in 2018.
