SA Forums Community,
Okay, so I've pretty much accepted the fact that we're in the biggest public health and economic crisis of the past century. No living person remembers a plague of this scope. That said, crises are also times of special opportunity.
There have been a lot of discussions about this, but I thought I'd start a new thread to possibly layout what some of the opportunities are:
1. Invest in financial instruments that increase in value when volatility is high.
2. Sell commodities that are highly priced right now - firearms, cleaning products, invest in blue chip stocks that are beaten down.
3. For small business owners - acquire assets or commodities where there is temporarily suppressed demand. Like advertising.
4. Start a local business where you deliver food or other things for people.
5. Temporary short the stock market.
6. Negotiate reductions in good quality real estate - If you're in the market and you have money, you might be able to get a reduction in good quality real estate. Open houses are happening, but nobody really wants to travel so you might be able to get 5% off.
Are you guys seeing any other opportunities?
