Yes, this is probably a great time to swoop in. I can't really do much, not much free cash. This property market decline could be another bust waiting to happen.
With the recent down swing there are some major investment sales/opportunities.
I buy mostly index funds and blue chip stocks. A simple long term plan and we happen to have a good chunk of cash waiting for an opportunity like this.
I'm dollar cost averaging into US, Canadian, and international index funds right now. As it goes down I will continue to buy. I plan to be able to average in for the 2-3 years if necessary
I'm also closely watching TD Bank, Suncore, CN rail, and Kbro linens. Disclosure I own all of these and am looking to add to the position.
I'm watching the property market in BC and Alberta very closely. I think there will be a delay in the fallout rhat could take a year or two before we see prices come down significantly.
I don't like to see people get sick, die, or panic, so I'm not routing for this. I'd much rather see the world calm down and stabilize. I'm trying to separate the two and use logic the same way I've always tried to do when it comes to investing.
What are you doing, if anything?

I think this will be the story for the majority. Alot of people have their wealth tied up in a single property and minimal access to cash for something like this. Things will eventually recover and all that will really likely change is a bigger class seperartion. Another topic but I'm not sure exactly what the solution for that is.
Traditionally property takes alot longer to fall than the stock market but I think we could definitely see a correction in Canada as well.
It's amazing how much can change really quickly in today's world. Just like no one knew exactly when this would start, no one knows exactly when it will end either.

Side note: I've always found a direct relation between fantasy hockey and finance.
You are buying players when their stock is low and selling them when it is too high. Avoid short term emotional decisions. Fantasy hockey is just another form of investment strategy, and I think that's a big part of why I enjoy it.

I'll be stocking up on my usual index funds while they're on sale: VCN, VUN, VUI, VEE. Unfortunately I just put 20% down on a house that tied up most of my cash. Dammit.
I would love to get into CN Rail on the cheap, however it's still holding steady. Obviously Energy stock's are taking a pounding but I am not sure how much exposure you want on that market.

For those with some throw-away money, Bitcoin sure seems like a decent gamble right here. You could lose every dollar, yes, but you could also be looking at a very fast triple. Or more.

Guys, the real money is in toilet paper! You should be all in on toilet paper.
I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

Zoom Communications would be a company I would look into.
Also excited. Will be looking to buy Suncor, VISA, CDN banks and my favorite cannabis stock Village Farms International when the dust settles. Waiting though, I expect more red for a while. Will get interested once SPY hits 180ish (currently around 270). Book it.
Renewable energy was doing great until this happened, a bit too great, so this is nice opportunity for those who may have missed a good entry. XBC and GRN to name a few.
*Currently own VFF, XBC and GRN.
Im just going to reboot this thread.
I am getting back some money from my income tax and thinking this might be a good opportunity to finally get into the market. I have never dabbled other than with RRSPs, but if I can make some good money from a bad situation, why not.
I see Oil is down dramatically again today. I cant remember the last time it was trading this low.
Whats everyones thoughts on jumping in now or wait it out longer?
