The Covid-19 Crisis: Investing in a (very) volatile environment
The longest bull market in history, as measured by the S&P 500, came to a sudden and dramatic halt on March 12. To add to the drama, the market entered into bear territory (a fall of 20% from its previous all-time high), by plunging 9.5% in a single day. In the month between Feb/19 and Mar/19, the market fell 29%. Many portfolios have been devastated.
What to do in such an environment? Should one sell stocks and find a shelter in bonds? Or sell stocks and find a shelter in gold? Or not sell at all? Or even load up on stocks? This session will discuss the impact of the coronavirus on financial markets, compare it to other volatile periods, discuss the outlook for stock and bond markets, and draw some lessons that will hopefully help investors navigate the current storm.
