I think it's important to take advantage of ASX share market volatility when we can.
Volatility is a key feature of shares. Each day there are different buyers and sellers. Obviously there will be different views about what price people are willing to buy and sell at.
This coronavirus period of time has seen some of the strongest volatility in decades. I think it's important to take advantage of the lower share prices. Collectively, investors are only willing to sell their shares at lower prices when there's something to actually worry about. And there's always something to worry about. Eventually that particular worry will pass, just like the GFC.
The price we pay for our investments is the biggest factor for deciding our future returns. If you can buy during periods like this when prices are a lot lower then you'll boost your future returns significantly.
These low share prices don't last forever. Just look at how the ASX share market volatility has lowered and prices have recovered strongly since 23 March 2020 even though the actual economic numbers like unemployment just get worse and worse.
What ASX shares on the share market are opportunistic buys due to volatility?
A number of exciting shares like Pushpay Holdings Ltd (ASX: PPH) were a lot cheaper a few weeks ago, but I wouldn't describe those shares as opportunistic any more. They're still solid buys though.
I think ASX share market volatility have made these shares buys: diversified property business Brickworks Limited (ASX: BKW), water entitlement business Duxton Water Ltd (ASX: D2O) and investment business Magellan Global Trust (ASX: MGG).
