I have been thinking this volatility on the Stock Markets should present an opportunity for savvy investors to buy some blue chip shares when they are down.

It would require one being prepared to wait out the turn around and of course they could go down further in the meantime.

Any ideas?

You'd need to have balls as large as an elephant to buy shares now
especially if it's all of your life savings.

Can you buy shares in them?

Yes - you used to be able to buy Crown shares.
I had some once.

Looks like Crown casino will be closed soon.

My thoughts are that "Share Markets" are likely to go DOWN by 50% plus!
Unfortunately, A GLOBAL PANDEMIC IS NOT THE ONLY THING IMPACTING MARKETS, although those in positions of influence would NOT WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT!
Also IMPACTING MARKETS, ARE;
1) DEMOGRAPHICS
2) ENERGY ISSUES
3) CLIMATE CHANGE

As I said, "Share Markets" are likely to go DOWN by 50% plus, BUT JUST HOW MUCH THE FALL/S WILL BE, IS UNKNOWABLE!

I'll go with that. It's so far gone to be otherwise.

Agreed.

I think there are further drops ahead and it is going to get very ugly.

If the valuations drop back to where they were during the GFC, then there are very very big drops still to come. Sad

Yes. It has been far more accelerated than the GFC drop. Too fast you could say. It's not just something that affected Political & Military based nations playing that silly SuperPower Game over pizza. It's something that has affected 'EVERY' nation on the planet really. Even the Pitcairn Islanders are not letting anyone come to their islands while they molest the children.
