There's a lot to be bullish about, despite the headlines, or whether we're in a “second wave” of the coronavirus or if we're not done with the first wave.

The markets have an upward bias that's tough to deny. From the entire period between 1960 and 2019, the S&P 500 has returned an average of 11% – that includes reinvested dividends. In fact, the market only declined in 13 of those years, increasing in the other 46.
