AWM Insights #15: Should I Try to Day Trade?

The market has continued to bring surprises. In the last couple months we've seen one of the quickest recessions to one of the quickest recoveries then suddenly last week we saw a -6% down day in the market. 

In tandem with this market volatility, we've also seen many big name companies declare bankruptcy followed by their stock prices skyrocketing. In their wake have been more voices who have adopted a day trading approach claiming now is the time to buy these companies pretty much across the board.

This can cause us as investors to question what is going on in the short term, and ask if we should lean into this day trading approach. However, we also know that the disciplined approach is going to continue to be to cut out the noise, control what we can control, and stick to the plan for the long term.
