While the net effect might be statistically insignificant, it is important to note that this was achieved by unprecedented restrictions on public life, street and pedestrian traffic, etc. People have been staying at home, with limited physical exertion and activity (which should cases of death over the short term). Though accidents, physical injury and other transmittable diseases (which might have been lowered by staying at home and isolating) are relatively uncommon causes of death.
Keep in mind that this is a very, very selective perception and analysis. The 10 or x few “best” days (day-to-day) in investing are often rebounds from a big crash. Just as we’ve witnessed this year.
I am too lazy to pull up the statistics, but he must have had at least couple of the “x best days over the last 40 years” in March and April this very year.
My friend (of whom I told on the forum recently) must have missed all of them - by selling practically near the all-time high on february 19. His portfolio is doing very fine.
