I’ve been investing for about a decade and Buffet had my mouth watering waiting for the next economic meltdown & the opportunities that would provide. I watched with hindsight the 2007-08 crash and noticed how many great companies traded at “once in a lifetime prices” and seemed like obvious choices.
With the Covid crash I was finally able to put it into practice. It was easy to buy great companies as they continued to get cheaper and cheaper. I waited until the initial drop was 15-20% to ensure I wasn’t buying 2-5% dips. Added throughout the bloodshed and sold into the recovery. That recovery quickly turned into exuberance and for 1-2 years, it seemed everything was crazy over priced. Then can another “recession/bear” that we’re currently living in. But I have also heard many experts in the last couple weeks say the economic numbers don’t match every other recession; many numbers look to good to be going into a recession. My initial theory was that we were just giving back obscene gains bid up after the Covid recovery.
I noticed last night that I am holding a few companies currently trading at or below February, 2020 prices and thought I’d share that list. Regardless of how one chooses to value a company, seeing their price back to 2020 levels is refreshing to someone still accumulating.
Remember these are just taken from my current holdings. I did not do a screen looking through the universe.
Ticker / Todays Price / February 2020 Price
Just an interesting observation I thought I’d share.
Was shocked at some of the price differences with companies like
$BABA ,
$PYPL,
$TROW , &
$META. Always thought Netflix was insanely overvalued; no surprise there.
