Everyone’s talking about a recession these days. But over the past two weeks, my team and I have gone on our biggest buying spree since the depths of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020. Why?

Over the last two weeks, my team and I have embarked on our biggest stock buying spree since the Covid-19 pandemic emerged in March 2020.
