The US stock market continued its fierce pace of recovery last quarter with the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrials up +8.5% and +7.6%, respectively. Many attribute the strong performance to:
* an economy that has steadily improved -- although still far from where it started the year
* consumer spending has picked up -- thanks in no small part to government stimulus
* hiring has picked up for four consecutive months -- a very positive sign
* the Federal Reserve signaled it would leave rates low for years
Both indexes are up over 25% since the end of March...but both are just about even for the year. In fact, the S&P 500 is up +4.1 in 2020 while the Dow Jones is still off -2.7%.
Plenty of other investments make up a diversified portfolio. Here are some others we track:
* US Small Companies (IWM): +4.9% 3Q and -8.7% YTD
* Developed International Markets (EFA): +4.7% 3Q and -7.2% YTD
* Emerging Markets (EEM): +9.4% 3Q and -1.6% YTD
* Aggregate Bond Market (AGG): +0.6% 3Q and +6.7% YTD
* Short-Term Treasury Market (SHY): +0.1% 3Q and +3.0% YTD

With Fall season around the corner, the current health concern is COVID-19 and the flu. Do you know the difference in symptoms among COVID-19, flu, cold, and seasonal allergies? Intermountain Healthcare breaks it down. (https://intermountainhealthcare.org/blogs/topics/live-well/2020/03/whats-the-difference-between-a-cold-the-flu-and-coronavirus/) (The article also has a link that enables you to listen to a 3.43-minute audio instead of reading.)
With some symptoms, the differences are so minute, but respiratory difficulty and loss of taste and smell are two big determinants of COVID-19. To complicate things more, although many people experience many of the symptoms from each category, not all do, hence the challenges of asymptomatic carriers of COVID-19.
Be safe: wear a mask, wash your hands, and practice social distancing. All three of these safety practices can not only protect you from COVID-19 but also the flu, the common cold, and even seasonal allergies.
