What a time to launch our Fish Eagle brand and to bring out our inaugural Blog!
You may be thinking, where are these guys, do they know that we are feeling pain out here? Don’t worry, we’ve been holding onto our seats & studying the fundamentals, attending investment updates & reading plenty of material … We’ve also been keeping up with client portfolio reviews, developing financial plans & speaking to those of you who either 1) have further funds to invest (are we crazy to even talk about that?) or 2) are worried about the future of the global financial landscape.
We are well aware that you are taking huge strain. We are also scrambling for insights which may inform us & give us a platform to advise you. But, it is so early in this new environment of multiple market influencers, as in local budget speech, Coronvirus / COVID 19 / oil price war, to make any logical and sensible decisions.
The environment is worrying, but when the emotion subsides, it will also offer opportunities as stocks are now cheaper than they were, interest rates are even lower (in the US) than they have been & oil is also attractively priced. This means that the level of economic activity that we may experience in coming months due to the Coronavirus, may receive a huge lift before the end of the year.
We are all in this crazy global cauldron together & the spoon that stirs the mix is social media. We are watching various ingredients go into that pot & are wondering what the taste of this toxic/delicious mix may be when we take the pot off the stove.
We are encouraging that most take no action for now, but are thinking a lot about what the effects of these multiple issues will be in the longer term & you are welcome to open a dialogue with us about your thoughts in this regard.
Have a wonderful day & enjoy being alive & healthy in a scary but vibrant world!
Best wishes
Your team at Fish Eagle
