Mac98 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Well, let's see. You've got a pandemic, a trade war, an oil war, a financial world without reserves, consumers in debt and hunkering down, a high-tech industry gladly promoting fear mongering and outright lies, overbought stock markets bought with tax cuts for the rich, and take a look at those we have at the helm in most countries. What could go wrong? Or, will anything ever go right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussieroaming Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Well thats a bummer for me short term, I've got (had) about 6M in the SET. Luckily if I can pick up some stocks on the downturn then I should see a decent return in a couple of years when the upward swing accelerates. A bit similar to the GFC, when I kept buying as the stock prices fell. A good margin a few years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, this will create one of the great/greatest buying opportunities. The DOW I bet will be at 40,000 by the end of Trumps second term. So have that dry powder ready ( that means cash) a tremendous opportunity is about us. That's four years away, and I don't even buy green bananas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I looked, bond yields were less than the inflation rate. Or are you turning cartwheels because your bonds have not lost value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought yikes, they have gone through the floor. Roof more like. Time for more champers. Conversely my daughter in Canary Wharf said she has lost 600,000 baht in the last month. That's her money. She is an equities trader and was in La Paz on holiday on Monday trying to ignore the markets. Rooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunPer Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 It really depend of the spread in your portfolio, how you are doing during a crisis; exposed a lot in energy and oil is not the best right now, nor is air transport and hotels. In my major stock portfolie I'm still a bit over 1st January, so I lost almost all of this year's gain, but not the dividend; however the US-stocks are more down than the Danish companies that are my major holdings. My total holdings are around 15 companies only all together. But my smaller Thai SET portfolio is almost 10 percent below my invested funds, so I lost three year's gain and 10 Percent, but not included paid dividends, so altogether balancing around brake even, or zero including inflation rate. Markets are in panic, so ups and downs, but more downs. It normally takes more time to recover, than to fall. However, I'm a long term investor, so I'm (still fairly) relaxed and sleep well at night, and I got time to wait...???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
