Google search defines intention as “an aim or plan” and (in medicine) “the healing process of a wound.”

The latter is rather befitting given how 2018 ended: anyone who participated in the markets in 2018 was pretty badly beaten up that December. Almost every asset class lost money in 2018. Healing from those 2018 battle wounds was going to take time as everyone knows that even with the most determined patients, there could be challenges along the way. Thankfully, we saw progress in 2019.
