The stock market took the biggest crash ever, But like the old saying says there is a lot of wealth in a crisis so you have to make sure you take advantage of great investment opportunities.

We will give you a breakdown of the best and worst investments of 2020. Let’s say you had 10 thousand dollars in the bank for 2020. Right now that 10 thousand dollars would be worth the same amount. If you were to make 300% on your 10K investment. You would have 30 thousand dollars. Even if you would have made 30% you would have 13 thousand dollars. This is why investing is so important.
