Surprisingly, the best trading I ever did was during Covid-19 period. It was like god sent trading for me which helped me to stay in the stock market. It was very difficult period for many investors world wide. In fact,those who panicked and over-leveraged lost heavily. Those who had experience and knowledge on the investment world not only survived but also manged to get above average capital gain.My job that time was how to come out from the most difficult situation.So I stared my home work and found traders, speculators and investors were heavily betting on health related stuff, shipping and transportation related stocks. As they were very hot, I tried to find some other stocks like food and commodity producers which are going to benefit and took some positions accordingly. One became a more than 4 or 5 baggers. First time I realized I am not bad at trading as well. When the right time comes I will do trading as well. As I said, currently my main Job is preserving my capital.
