b'My guest this morning is Dan Rasmussen of Verdad Capital. Like me, Dan and his firm focus on quantitative research. Just a month before the COVID crisis hit markets, they completely and published a study on investing during periods of market crisis, which is the topic of this conversation. We discuss what works and what doesn\\u2019t during and after acute periods of panic in markets. I think you\\u2019ll find it extremely informative. Because Dan\\u2019s firm and my own share many beliefs about investing and conduct similar flavors of research, I try to offer devil\\u2019s advocate questions throughout.
