The Covid-19 outbreak has been called a pandemic by the WHO. Seems like it could be an opportunity to buy and invest in some stocks with proper research. Your thoughts?

The information we receive is difficult to use as a market timing signal. There probably are still some worse dates ahead. As we are no robust stock pickers passive indexing ETFs should be the way to go. Why not SP500 (as VOO or IVV)? Cost averaging will help.

If we think it all over, for many not so obvious, we even do not need to change any strategy faced with these happenings:

buying regularly well diversified large and cheap passive indexing ETFs and hold them forever

... as we did always before.​​​

Short answer. Yes.

Divide investable cash into 3 tranches. When s&p hits 2000, buy into an index. Then put in the other 2 tranches every time it drops 10%.

The following industries will face impact to their earnings.

If you feel that the price fall is beyond the expected impact to earnings, you can invest into them. Otherwise you can look into stocks not affected by the pandemic and will have sharp recovery. hotels
