YMW Special Bulletin 17 March, 2020

It’s Time.

After last night’s sell-off I believe it is time to put some money to work. Not all in as there is still a lot of uncertainty, but it is now being reflected in share prices.

The US Federal Reserve did us no favours by adding to the panic with an emergency cut of 100 basis points. Liquidity is paramount, not the price. The $700bn bond-purchasing program should ensure liquidity remains available.

Select your companies carefully. These are the stocks you have always wanted to own. Set reasonable prices. There will be further opportunities, but I believe we should get the ball rolling.

More in the Overview on Friday.

Otherwise, keep an eye out for Morningstar coverage on the impact the coronavirus is having on markets and how you should react.
