The last year or so has been one of the most volatile in recent memory for stock markets around the globe. From around Dow Jones spike of 29,000 in February 2020 to a low of around 19,170 in March of 2020 in the immediate aftermath of the COVID-19 shut downs in the US, to a current, all-time high of over 32,700 in mid-March of 2021, it’s been a wild ride. As I’ve followed the market over that period, it’s struck me how similar building a successful growth portfolio in the market can be to building a successful pro football team.
