There's really not another rational explanation for that kind of behavior.
I'll admit that as a value investor, seeing an end to the longest bull market in history, (thanks, Obama), and having the first chance to buy companies I've been following for years while they're on sale before they become overvalued again in a matter of days, is a gift. But, it would be a "gift" under any circumstances, it's not particular to the pandemic.
I'm a liberal and believe to my soul that we all do better when we all do better, and I hope everything improves immensely, soon. I take no satisfaction in seeing anyone "lose" in this, or any other situation. That being said, I see Trump as an existential threat to not only nearly everything we as Americans hold dear, but potentially, the world. It wasn't me, it was Donald Trump who tied his success to the stock market. So if Trump is hoist by the very petard he created, who am I to blow against the wind?
