We’re getting close to the time when smart investors start looking for opportunities as everyone else panics around them. If you’re going to try and ‘buy the dip’ though, I’d advise being careful. To take advantage of other people’s panic, you need to make sure you get in as cheap as possible.
Maybe the coronavirus is part of the acceleration of new disease. After all, we only just got through Zika in 2015–16. There was the Ebola outbreak in 2014. Before that was MERS in 2012. Then H1N1 (swine flu) in 2009. And then there was SARS in 2002 and 2004.
Thanks to the coronavirus, the government is once again looking to take drastic measures. They’re petrified about the impact this pandemic will have on the Aussie economy. And they’re preparing to release a new stimulus package.
For some industries it is already proving to be a massive opportunity… As the saying goes, ‘Never waste a good crisis.’ If you can spot the broader trends as they happen, then you can turn it into an investing advantage.
US markets rip-snorted higher overnight. The white knights of the world’s central banks were saddling up to ride to the rescue. They announced they were ready to lance the crisis with sharp rate cuts and ‘monetary stimulus’.
What. A. Drop.
I’m of course talking about gold.
