Those are sentiments shared by strategists at JPMorgan.

People are increasingly questioning their need even as the U.S continues to register record numbers of infections at the back of one of the world’s highest death rates. Some people have already found a way to fuel the fire, using footage of Dr. Anthony Fauci to question and criticize the face mask’s role in the fight against COVID-19, or even images from opening night of the Washington Nationals baseball game where he sat isolated in a nearly empty stadium. Facemask Conspiracy Theories While the video has been viewed over 2.5 million times on Facebook, it omits a quote by the infectious disease expert on purpose to perpetuate wrong and misleading information. Dr. Fauci is on record reiterating his support for a face mask as the understanding of COVID-19 improved. https://callputstrike.com/2020/07/24/facemasks-fauci-the-economy-covid-19-conspiracy-theories/ Cryptocurrency Mainstream Adoption On Course As U.S Banks Start Offering Custody Services The Office of the Comptroller of Currency has set the stage for cryptocurrency mainstream adoption in the U.S. In a public letter, the department has made it clear that national banks across the country can hold onto cryptographic keys for cryptocurrency wallets paving the way for banks to start holding digital assets for clients. Banks Crypto Custody Services The declaration marks a major milestone in the evolution of cryptocurrency that have become part and parcel of people’s lives. Previously, crypto exchanges, as well as digital wallets, were the only ones offering custody services for digital assets.

Those are sentiments echoed by hedge fund billionaire, Leon Cooperman. He is the chairman and CEO of Omega Advisors, a New York-based investment advisory firm managing over $3.3 billion in assets under management. According to the billionaire investor, at current levels, the market is overvalued, having failed to price in, or factor, some of the developments that signal economic growth stagnation. “If you go back to your school days — you have a sharp movement down, you have a bounceback, but… the growth rate in the economy going forward will be less than people think,” Cooperman said and predicted the market will see a square-root shaped recovery, similar to his thoughts following the 2009 market crash. https://callputstrike.com/2020/07/21/stock-market-is-overvalued-expect-square-root-recovery-leon-cooperman/
