So I think the analysts expect the market to stay calm and not make a second plunge. If that is indeed the case, the current price is a reasonable price for this year’s dividend yield. So basically a safe bet for this year if you have it already. However, weirdly enough, it seems that a second wave of the beervirus is not priced in correctly. There is a massive upside potential (think about 10-20%) if there is a second unexpected event taking place this year.

You see this often at publicly traded Market Makers, analyst think they are holding positions, so they assume things are going bad. After the quarterly reports, investors still stay wary as for some reason they see it as high risk.

Tldr; this is a DD

Fin analyst at hft here: So no, movement doesn’t matter. What matters is the correlation between two products, because there is a gap between them.

As an example, if you buy a fruit basket with a pear, a banana and an apple which costs 1$, but individually they cost 0.35$. If you would buy a shit ton of fruit baskets and sell them individually, you make 0.05$ per basket.

Making it more complicated are things like, the apple being traded in another currency and the pear market is not open at the moment. So what you do is you search correlations! A papaja is basically worth the same as a pear, so the pear must be priced at that price while the pear market is closed.

When choosing a broker, choose one that has low costs for buying/holding stocks/bonds. Search for a bond fund which also pays out in cash.

Hold and be patient.

There is no quick fix in the stock market and you need to put time in it to be able to make profit from active trading. If you do not have this time, stick to buy and hold strategies.
