Hi Michael,
I came across your article now, at the end of December 2020 – kudos for your advice at the beginning of the pandemic! Who followed your advice in early 2020, made nice returns in 2020. As your recommendation is pretty time-agnostic, your advice is still valid today.
As for myself, I have not sold anything in March/April but continued to invest regularly in a broad-based ETF. So pretty much in line with your recommendation – except for not touching bonds at all and substituting them with real estate!
All the best for 2021!
My best,
Lukas

In reply to Bill. Cash is King, Bill. Just remember, it doesn't stay king for a long time. Nobody knows how long this bear market will last but yeah, drip-feeding sounds like a decent strategy.

Thanks Michael,
Your Articles are like music to my ears, while people have been investing for years and making the most out of their investments, ive only dreamt of investing, instead ive been doing what im good at making money from my business. Which is unaffected from what’s going on right now and sitting on a large huge amount of cash. But i think it’s time for me to invest, but as you said markets have only gone back to what they were in 2018. So i fear i might invest then we hit the recession.

I am thinking of investing in monthly chunks over next 4 months. 25% this week and so on. Any non-personal suggestions? of course, it’s only income i don’t need for a very long time.

Nice article, not too long and to the point, which is much needed in times when information is too much, incoherent and lacking of sources.

As Buffett said once ‘Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.’

In reply to Periklis. I agree Peri, thanks for sharing your thoughts! The question is how low will it go before it bounces higher. If you're not forced to sell though, that wouldn't be an issue.

Thank you for sharing your view Mike. I personally choose to not only sell but to buy. Alas, I am constrained from my salary and budget but I certainly have confidence that healthy companies will bounce higher.

Cheers
