Feeling the pain from the market downturn?
Hi AK,
Its Painful for many over last week.
Myself included.
I m 50% in reits/trust & the rest in others. The others are all doing quite badly.
Following your blog since 2009...
I understand you did very well positioning your strategy buys during the period between 2009 thru mid 2014...
What's your take on current situation & appreciate your view on the best way to ride thru this period?
Possible to share your personal strategy & focus stocks?
Appreciate some emotional uplift for the fallen :)

Hi T,
I am actually selectively buying on weakness. If you follow my blog and the comments section, you will see me talking about these. Or if you follow me on FB, you will see this too. :)
If we have invested prudently, we shouldn't worry about volatility in prices too much. In fact, if we have an idea of what constitute fair values, we should be prepared to buy on further weakness. ;)
This downturn in the stock market is no different from any other downturns in the past. You will see some of my older blog posts in the past which talked about downturns and how I reacted, for examples, at the tail end of the Global Financial Crisis when I first started my blog, during the Fiscal Cliff worry or the Taper Tantrum. You will find these in the right side bar of my blog.
At all times, have a plan and as long as it is a sound plan, stick to it. :)
For immediate relief, you might want to read this blog post:

Gambatte! ;)
Best wishes,
AK
