Heavyweights like Mark Cuban and Chamath Palihapitiya offer coronavirus investing tips — plus loads of stock picks
Dear Readers,
Billionaires Mark Cuban and Chamath Palihapitiya have a lot more in common than owning NBA teams. They've also made headlines in the past couple of weeks with their comments on the post-coronavirus landscape.
In an upset of epic proportions, Palihapitiya's views are actually more outspoken than Cuban's. He appeared on CNBC last week and absolutely unloaded on the ultra-wealthy and corporations seeking bailouts.
Perhaps lost amid the fervor has been Palihapitiya's outstanding professional track record. But the Investing team at Business Insider — never one to takes its eye off the ball — has been all over his market views.
Cuban, meanwhile, unveiled his own thoughts on the post-virus investing environment. In the end, both arrived at a similar conclusion: now is the time to seek bargains in real estate.
Both viewpoints are included below in our usual range of stories, which fit into two categories: (1) expert recommendations and (2) stock picks. Both sections are worth browsing for keen, actionable insights from some of the industry's most notable and successful figures.
