Episode notes

I don't know the answer of one that I want to own, that the yield is too high. It's a hard question. Most of the companies I'm looking at right now, I suppose, the euro prices won't end in group is den order and then I hold none of them are yield is toohigh at the moment. Alexandra: Walgreens is probably, I would imagine, I don't know what the yield is, but I think it's quite high for that reason. The S&P 500 trading usually around 15 or something; this company used to be there as well. You're often talking about a stock with a story, a turn around, a broken stock

In this episode, we share our thoughts on how we decide what to buy when the market is under stress.

At the beginning of the episode, we discuss the news of the week surrounding ECB rate hike and how this has caused some fear for Irish residents due to the eviction ban being lifted at the end of the month. We also discuss Pfizer ($PFE) and their decision to spend $43 billion to acquire Seagen. Is this cash-rich company squandering money?

Dividend Updates this week include Inditex, WP Carey and Vonovia.

In the main topic, we discuss how the current situation in the financial sector is influencing what we buy.

This is your time to gobble up some high-quality stocks. As an example, JNJ doesn’t look too bad at these prices.
