Premium: Mr Market’s depressed mood is perfect opportunity for rational investors
Mr Market is panicking about confusion around Omicron plus fresh concerns at rising interest rates. For rational investors, falling share prices can be very welcome.
March 2020 feels like a lifetime ago. It was the last time we were able to take such advantage of Mr Market's obvious depression – then sparked by uncertainty around Covid-19. At that month's BN portfolio update webinar we bought aggressively into Sasol at R28 (now R309); Discovery in the R60s (now R144) and Cloudflare in the $20s (now $93).
The exponentially growing US companies that have served our portfolio so well have taken the brunt of Mr Market's mood swing with their share prices falling sharply of late – and again last night (see above). It's starting to remind me of March 2020. Mr Market is panicking about confusion around Omicron. Plus fresh concerns at rising interest rates.
