Here in Hong Kong we are into week 9 of a partial lockdown with schools closed, distancing the norm and more determined efforts across the community to contain the spread of C-19.
Recent infection clusters have re-introduced a new wave of more stringent measures being rolled out to ensure that this spate doesn’t get entrenched into our community.
The health risks are way too great to ease off now. Economic damage has to be a distant priority at times like these. If the pandemic isn’t effectively contained, your economy is kaput anyway.
Economic recovery is assured at some point in the future. Deaths due to C-19 are an altogether different matter…
From our experience here in Hong Kong and in China, the UK, most of central Europe and the US can realistically expect to be in varying degrees of lockdown for the next 3-4 months, minimum.
There is no escaping that fact. The length and severity of the lockdowns depend upon how successful containment is in these early stages.
There can be no other priority for decision-making other than the effective containment of the pandemic.
Keep yourself and your family safe.
Look for the silver linings where you can. There are lots of people out there who are there to help.
Only watch the news once or twice a day to protect yourself from a mental downward spiral.
Instead, get to work on your post-pandemic life. Reach out and collaborate.
At times like these, that sort of purpose and vision, will carry you through.
As for me, I’m busy collaborating on a post-pandemic portfolio to ride the recovery.
Currently, having a good look at COSTCO, among other things.
This is just one of the stocks that we have on the radar for a number of reasons. It has a great business model for all stages of the business cycle and proved very resilient during the recent crash.
Get in touch if you’d like to get involved and see exactly how we are setting up to ride the next phase in the market.
Or have a bash at the 7 day portfolio challenge to get the background to what we are building.

The full extent of the C-19 pandemic are yet to be realised and markets are struggling to price it in. Rebalancing and derisking in the markets are causing massive swings and a massive spike in volatility not seen since 1987.
The next couple of phases will be very interesting, for sure. Nobody really knows how deep or how long this will be, but it is definitely time to be active rather than passive, methinks.
The days of passive strategies just got blown away for the foreseeable future.

A must read if you want to understand the importance of social distancing and testing to contain the #coronavirus pandemic.
This is no laughing matter but it can be contained.
This is how we have kept things under control in Hong Kong for the past three months.
This is how it was hammered in Hubei.
Doing nothing is not an option.
And by the way, it is everyone’s responsibility too…
…so get a grip on the, I’m not bothered about a little flu virus bravado…
Outstanding piece of work by Tomás Pueyo and the team.
Bravo.

March 2020 will go down as my worst trading month ever.
With a global pandemic, toilet roll shortages and people queueing at gunstores (WTF!) in the US, the world seems a pretty bleak place…and even with two of the biggest clowns in the history of leadership pumping their self-serving brainfarts into the equation, I still have a few reasons to be optimistic.
I am looking up, beyond the present turmoil and sowing seeds for a not too distant future.
I have had the benefit of being towards the front of the curve from our location in Hong Kong. We are some 6-8 weeks ahead of Europe in terms of our experience. We have been through the initial weirdness and heigthened uncertainty during the pre-pandemic phase. We also have the experience of going through something similar during SARS. We have been part of the facemask apocolypse before. It felt bizarre back then, but somewhat desensitised by our previous encounter, it is a lot less bizarre this time around.
So I’m at the stage now, where I’m looking forward and preparing for when the world returns to a more normal place. For when schools can resume, although we still don’t know when that will be. For when rugby and football matches can go ahead again. For when we can get together again as communities. For when normal service resumes. For when people can start to go about their daily lives without this need for vigilance, without the air of foreboding. Without this fear of the unknown.
The green shoots of normality are sprouting in Asia already due to decisive community responses over the last 8 weeks. HK residents are out and about, still vigilant about personal hygiene and proximity, to protect the whole community from the ravages of viral destruction, but out and about, nonetheless.
Now, I know that there is going to be more volatility. More unrest. More distress in the meantime across the globe.
But I also know that we will get through this.
We have incredible powers of resilience, adaptability and flexibility that enable us to work through massive economic, social and community challenges.
We get through these things through intelligent, thoughtful cooperation. Even in the context of absolute disruption, community crisis and necessary social distancing.
[Sidenote: Maybe it should be called something else relating to proximity rather than social – we can still be social, just in a different way. See the community singalongs and public exercise sessions that have flashed up among isolating communities over the last couple of weeks. Heartening stuff.]
These are testing times on so many fronts: social, personal, economic, health…and the world will be a different place on the other side for the experience.
You can get through whatever comes and what is more, you can come out stronger on the other side and maybe in ways that you never expected.
Start to sow for your own green shoots…

The coronavirus madness continues, but it can be contained through social distancing and sensible precautions. Hong Kong’s experience as one of the densest cities on the planet is a case in point.
Here are a few tips for self-isolating that we have found useful after 8 weeks of home learning and social distancing here in Hong Kong.
As well as all of the usual government advice about washing hands, not touching your face and social distancing, here are a few pointers to help you get through the next couple of months of self-isolation with your physical health and sanity in tact:
Stay calm and carry on.
Just keep away from other people as far as possible and keep washing your hands.
If you are struggling, let us know and we’ll try to figure out how you can get some help. You are not alone.
Take care.
