Re: CONVID 19 V Mum/Baby

This is my dilemna as well.

Have been mainly invested in real estate since 2012. No KA, no POOM, just boring checks every month and a regular, if sometimes interrupted, upward movement in underlying value. These are government subsidized gains in tangible assets. If the market tanks, so what? Well designed and managed housing is always in demand. Dilemma resolved.

If sales are made or no revenue exists interest on debt keeps compounding.

governments and central banks are getting the money wagons ready, though they need to be seen as coming to save the day, so the crisis must burn on for a while longer.
