Week 58 – April 19th – Week 2 of lockdown easing phase 2

Just checking in regarding my portfolio

Global equity markets are having the odd weak day, over recent weeks, as investors worry about rising Covid numbers in certain parts of the world (India), earnings not meeting analyst estimates (Netflix) and general market valuations being high.

I am certainly watching these market movements and fully apricate that we are late in the cycle but I remain unconvinced that we are on a precipice of a significant correction. The reason for maintaining this optimism is, Interest rates are low and will be kept there for some time to come, stimulus measures are still be pumped into markets, and corporate figures, form the US, are on balance still comfortably beating estimates therefore justifying the higher valuations.

This environment remains positive for equity investing, but I do remain watchful.
