We are on a bit of a roller coaster ride this week.
The S&P 500 Index (INDEXSP: ^INX), which has been enjoying three months of relative calm, suffered its worst single-session plunge in three months when it fell 3.5% on Thursday.
The NASDAQ Composite Index (INDEXNASDAQ: ^IXIC) suffered a near 5% fall after witnessing a nearly uninterrupted rise since early June.
And in Singapore, our Straits Times Index (SGX: ^STI) continues to lag, trading around 22% below its level at the start of this year.
To be sure, seasoned investors have felt that a correction was way overdue.
Although there was reason to be optimistic on the development of a vaccine for the COVID-19 virus, valuations did feel a tad overdone.
But is volatility here to stay? Or will calm return anytime soon?
No one knows the answer right now.
But what we do know is how you can look out for attractive companies to buy under all kinds of market conditions.
