BURKE, Va. Licensed therapist Elizabeth Brokamp settles in for a counseling session. Instead of the face-to-face meetings she’s done for 25 years, the pandemic forced her to practice online. She sees her clients on teletherapy websites. I work with trauma, and a lot of women with postpartum depression types of issues or reproductive types of issues like infertility, Brokamp said.

Despite the ravages of the pandemic, 2020 turned out to be a good year for U.S. stocks. All the major indexes hit record highs, despite the fact that many major sectors suffered heavy losses, including energy, banks, airlines, real estate and hospitality.
In a normal year, those declines would have been enough to drag the indexes into the red. But 2020 was no normal year. The dazzling performance of the technology sector almost single-handedly turned what should have been a dismal year for the markets into a winner.
One number tells the story. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 43.2 per cent last year. No one else was close. The S&P 500 finished up 16.26 per cent, the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 7.25 per cent and the S&P/TSX Composite gained a paltry 2.17 per cent.

We created a Growth Portfolio for my Internet Wealth Builder newsletter in August 2012 with an initial value of $10,000. After eight and a half years, we’re showing an average annual compound rate of return of over 27 per cent.
That’s far better than we ever imagined when the portfolio was created (we were looking for about 12 per cent). But always remember, this is a high-risk approach to investing. It is 100 per cent exposed to the stock market, with a focus on momentum plays. So, it should only be used by readers with higher risk tolerance.
