It definitely does, but it makes sense to me. Industry is hoping, pushing, and trying to force 'best-case scenarios' that they can report in earnings reports rather than looking at things realistically, and they've got a lot of money to throw around in Washington. When was the last time you gave money to a lobbyist to push your views? But, that's just BS conjecture without any citations, based on my personal world-view.
I think you’re exactly right. The rich and powerful used February to shelter their assets and get out of the markets, the whole time playing it down for the public so they wouldn’t panic. We had time to bolster hospitals and get more ventilators and our leaders were too busy trying to profit.
