I used to do some stock trading, got out of it all when the plandemic hit but part of the mindset has stuck with me in that I realize the importance of continually planning for worst case scenarios. In trading you have to do this, especially if you hold investments overnight as there can be big losses overnight, although rare, you have to plan for this with strategies to offset it (for example buying options). With the scenario we are in, we have done all we can do for the moment, it's time to focus on preparation for worse case scenarios. It doesn't mean being a doomer but by being more prepared you'll probably find your anxiety decreasing.
