I think enough has been said about how life-changing 2020 was, because of how it forced us to take a break from routine, and allowed us to step out of our comfort zones.

Change is a good catalyst for growth, and gives us new perspectives on what is really important in life.

Before diving into 2021, let just do a brief review of 2020.

Review of 2020

Markets were a wild ride, but provided great opportunities to ride strong trends, such as Tesla, Bitcoin, etc. This gave us one of the best years of returns.
