Managing Risk Is What Separates The Best From The Rest
If an investor listens in this sense, he will be able to convert cycles from a wild, uncontrollable force that wreaks havoc, into a phenomenon that can be understood and take advantage of: a vein that can be mined for significant outperformance
The investor’s goal is to position capital so as to benefit from future developments. He wants to have more invested when the market rises than when it falls, and to own more of the things that rise more or fall less. The objective is clear. The question is how to accomplish this.
When to buy?
That’s the $100 million dollar question. I’ve made it abundantly clear that when the dust has settled and investors’ nerves have steadied, the bargains will be gone.there’s absolutely no way to know when the bottom has been reached. There’s no neon sign that lights up. The bottom cab ne recognized only after it has been passed, since it is defined as the day before the recovery begins.it’s usually during market slides that you can buy the largest quantities of the thing you want, from sellers who are throwing in the towel and while the non-knife-catchers are hugging the sidelines.
To sum it up, in this environment we urge investors to buckle up and buy the best-in-class highly defensive blue-chip names. In our shelter-in-place habitat, now is not the time to be chasing yield. Focus on quality and you will not be disappointed.
Be safe and healthy!
