Volatility brings opportunity.Patience thru turmoil requiredIts a strange untested environment as this COVID19 pandemic and world response has caused a paralysis of investor confidence - in anything. Even cash is suspect as the paper or plastic surfaces that currency bills are printed on can retain the virus for up to 2 to 3 days and on metals even longer so you may receive more than just your hard earned cash back.
Just look at the markets today.
TSX 12,873, down 224
Dow J - 20968, down 444
S&P 500 2471, down 55
Gold $1620 up $6 ( you would not notice in the gold miner prices...yet but dont forget miners have reserves and can determine when best timing to sell/ process ore)

Lets hope that this projected virus peak will appear over the next 2 weeks as estimated and then the world can work on recovering together...from a safer distance
Cheers to all Patient investors ....Stay safe & Stay healthy
