This is Motley Fool Answers. I'm Alison Southwick and I'm joined as always by Robert Brokamp.

He's a personal finance expert here at the Motley Fool. Hello, Robert. How are you?

Just groovy. How are you?

I'm good. In this week's episode, we're joined by the Ascent's Dan Albright. He's going to talk to us about sources of financial assistance should you need it and what you

can do if you want to help others. All that and more on this week's episode of Mollyful answers.

So, bro, what's up? Well, as we've taken to doing since this pandemic started, I don't know what we're

calling it. I've heard pandemic a couple times.

Pandemic is, yeah, yeah, okay. Well, I ask that because I'm going to bring up some stats from

the Financial Times later on. They're calling this the Great Lockdown. And I was thinking at some

point in the future, we're going to have some term for this period.

And I was thinking a couple of ideas with maybe the virus crisis or the corona crash.

I don't know what, at some point though, some term will emerge as the common term we use.

But only just for what's going on in the markets?

Or do you feel what's going on in this whole?

No, historically.

The way we use the term, or do you feel what's going on in this? No, historically, like the way we use the term great depression.com bubble, at some point

there will be some term that we all use to talk about this when we talk about it in the future.

I don't think that term has emerged yet. I actually looked into when to the Great Depression

first was used. It was actually Herbert Hoover who came up with the idea who was president

in the beginning stages because he thought depression wasn't so bad as crash, but nowadays,

I don't think anyone feels that way. Anyways, here we are. Let's summarize what has happened.

So the economy still starts going down and the markets still keep going up.
