Well, it doesn’t take a team of analysts or Warren Buffett to see that the markets are having a bit of a rough time at the moment…
The fact that the coronavirus has virtually shut down the world’s economy has wreaked havoc across the global markets.
However, there is a silver lining here…
What has happened here wasn’t the sign of a weak economy, a burst bubble or policy failure – so that means that there’s a chance that the markets could come roaring to life as soon as things get back to some kind of semblance of “normal.”
And with that in mind, as an investor, you have to ask yourself:
“What should I do?”
Well, the truth of the matter is – that’s the been the question investors have been asking themselves since this whole thing started…
And the fact that there haven’t been a lot of solid answers may explain why there has been so much volatility in the markets.
This is why GorillaTrades has taken a cautious approach to our recommendations – as the fact is – we weren’t certain that things were going to go our way with all the anomalies that we’re dealing with.
So, we decided to pump the brakes a little before we dove back into things.
So far, that’s seem to have been the smart play – as there have been days where stocks look to be having a promising opening – only to close low due to things outside of the company’s control.
Think about it…
Who could have guessed how the shut down would have affected the industries that are still wide open and doing business?
The fact remains that EVERYTHING is affecting EVERYTHING – and right now – it’s almost impossible to pinpoint which stocks are going to be winners and which are going to have us beating our head into a wall.
However…
There is one thing that has been historically shown to be a PROVEN fact…
And that fact is that the markets WILL be back.
Whether they come back in May, later this summer or in 2021…
They WILL be back and we have to be ready to make money when they do!
So, what are the kinds of plays we’ll be looking at if we were “traditional” investors?
Construction Stocks
The new construction industry has been HUMMING for the past few years – and if it weren’t for the coronavirus touching down when it did…
It’s safe to assume that new construction would have KEPT on humming – as the economy was booming and there really were NO indicators that any slow down was coming.
That said…
The construction industry is bound to be one of those markets that make a big comeback – so you may want to take a look at a few companies that can put some cash in your pocket when this happens.
Government Contractor Stocks
If you thought the coronavirus stimulus bill only had provisions for individual Americans in it – you’d be sorely mistaken – as there were plenty of earmarks for companies that work with the government to ensure things get done.
For decades now, landing a fat government contract has been a goal for many companies around the country…
As it’s all but guaranteed a profit for those smart enough to use the money wisely.
So, finding those companies that work hand in hand with the US government would be a GREAT way to see that stimulus money at work – and put a little profit in your pocket.
They’re out there and not hard to find…
Food Stocks
Now, this may sound like a stretch…
But once things are back up and running – restaurants will more the likely find themselves inundated with customers who have spent the better part of two months inside their houses.
There are PLENTY of stocks that deal with the food industry that don’t involve actual restaurants – as there are supply and transport companies that will be working overtime to meet the demands that a reignited dining industry will call for.
It’s one of those areas that not a lot of people are thinking about now…
But with just a little bit of logic you can see how this will work once states find themselves open for business again.
However, that’s the key to making money in the market sometimes…
Thinking OUTSIDE of the box.
Keep these industries in mind while things start running again…
They could help you make up for any losses you may have incurred during this trying time.
