The First Wave of Bargain Shopping – TD, Magna, Suncor

Good day, everybody. I hope you are doing well!

This virus fear have crashed the markets to the levels we haven’t seen in decades. There are many blue-chip bargains out there at the moment.

If you’re trying to time the market, then the best time to buy stocks is when it’s the end-of-the-world type situation. I think we reached the tipping point of anxiety and uncertainty. We are surrounded by so much negativity coming out from every news channel. This disease is certainly very contagious and dangerous, but I think we will overcome it.

People need to follow the guidelines and stay calm. I think the stress, the fear, and the anxiety is a lot more dangerous than the virus itself. Personal hygiene and social distancing will protect you from any viral outbreak. This is something we need to keep in mind moving forward. We will have more outbreaks in the future.

Alright, enough of this virus discussion, let’s see the stocks I bought today.

Now let's see why emergency fund is crucial in difficult times like this.

How to Stay Safe during Covid-19 Pandemic

I usually don’t write about health related topics, but since we’re officially in a global pandemic mode, I thought I would write about some of the tips on how to stay safe during this time. Please note, that I’m not a licensed health care provider, therefore my recommendations should not be taken seriously. It’s just my logical thinking.

Portfolio Value Update - February 2020

Hey guys! Welcome back to the blog. We’re already in March, which means it’s time to report my monthly progress. Let’s see how my investment portfolio did in February and how much income it generated.
