2020's surge in "stay-at-home" stock prices makes sense in retrospect as the nation embraced the use of new technologies, home renovations, and delivery services. While many businesses felt the pinch, others experienced a profits boom. Future expectations for these businesses are quite high. But what about those industries that were hurt?
Profits could grow...a lot
Monetary and fiscal stimulus has already been record-breaking, with more on the way. Furthermore, 2021 earnings will have very easy comparisons. Forecasted profits have already turned more optimistic.

Markets tend to broaden when profit cycles accelerate. An increasing number of companies begin to grow their earnings, and investors no longer need to pay a high valuation to invest for growth.
Embrace the business cycle
Optimists, who believe profits will indeed rebound, should probably err on the sides of value, small, cyclical, and low quality during 2021.

Millions of homeowners face flood risks without realizing it, and climate change is making it worse. A model from First Street Foundation, a nonprofit that compiles comprehensive reports from experts to assess America’s flood risk, concludes that by 2050, 16.2 million properties will be at “substantial risk’ of flooding in a given year. The count is anticipated to grow substantially in coming decades due to the effects of climate change, including sea-level rise, which will make hurricane storm surges more damaging, as well as precipitation extremes. The model finds that about 14.6 million properties have a substantial level of risk now. Homebuyers need to be aware of the information, and current at-risk homeowners need to protect themselves with flood insurance. Check out this very important and eye-opening article.

I've been a fan of scanners for years. The ability to save and file paper away electronically just appeals to the neat freak in me. Scanners, however, can be harder to program than an 80's VCR.
