If you compare it to last March, March 2021 has seemed very tame. However, this month certainly has had its hiccups along the way. We’ve seen a bumpy road for technology stocks, small caps, growth stocks and more. After the run up following the crash last year though, a pause in some areas should’ve been expected.
It doesn’t make them bad investments.
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:

ENJOY!
