In this video I talk about how to invest during the crisis. The UK is currently in lockdown/quarantine as a result of the crisis and the markets are very unstable. I give suggestions on real estate/property investing, investing in stocks, commodities/currencies, general savings and investing mindset during these times.
In the UK the property market is frozen/on pause as estate agents aren't allowing new viewings and banks aren't releasing mortgages funds. However, if you're mid-way through a purchase (ie close to or have already exchanged) then the purchase will still complete in most cases. I don't believe the property market will be in for a significant downturn based on the expected short term nature of the crisis.
When investing in stocks I would currently only be looking to invest in 'tried and tested' business' that have been around for a long time and have significant cash reserves (as cash is king). Companies that don't have significant cash reserves will struggle during this time as sales will be significantly reduced but expenditure will still be maintained.
Commodities & currencies can be great to invest in during a crisis as they typically tend not to follow the stock market (as they are not linked to the market as they are a finite resource). Currency pairs are linked to each other and not linked directly to the market and therefore this can be a great way to hedge against stock market downturns.
It's worth focusing more on saving during these times rather than investing as you'll need cash to cover your expenditure if you lose your job for any reason. In addition, It would be worth spreading your cash savings across multiple banks to protect against any losses.
During the crisis I am having the mindset of being patient, spending less on unnecessary things and earning more by picking up additional hours.
