  • Opportunities?

    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?

      Nothing from me yet. I'm just happy to still be working at this point. Maybe when the smoke clears a little I'll look for some opportunities.
