I think a slow grinding bear market now, the good opportunities could be 2 years away. I am as qualified as anyone else to make that call, in other words a complete guess. But I think the fallout is going to be big and long lasting, no business as usual any time soon. If you are plucking pennies from in front of the steamroller then some opportunities yes ! -
Possibly, there are several scenarios, you need a strategy that means you win in all cases. i.e. invest some now for the U shaped recovery and hold back for the L scenario. China is currently on track for a U shaped recovery, it remains to be seen whether Europe achieves that.Originally posted by rootsnall View PostI think a slow grinding bear market now, the good opportunities could be 2 years away.

I was listening to the CEO of Merck whose company developed an Ebola vaccine within 4 years, he's pretty optimistic that a vaccine could be there within a year as there are many times the resources dedicated to this.
That needs to be factored in....

A year is a long time for semi shutdown, I don't the UK can print money to prop things up for more than a few months. South Korea appear to have it sussed on telly last night but it was a BBC reportOriginally posted by BlasterBates View PostI was listening to the CEO of Merck whose company developed an Ebola vaccine within 4 years, he's pretty optimistic that a vaccine could be there within a year as there are many times the resources dedicated to this.

I don't care what the end price is, as long as I make more gain in the least amount of time than ATW's multi year hold on his $19 AMD buy in.
