The Opportunity
The broader market sell-off amidst the panic due to the spread of COVID-19 and the oil war has impacted BGC Partners (BGCP)
This global panic has caused investors to rush to alternate safe-haven type investments such as gold and bonds. Also, there is sharp increase in FX volumes and commodities volumes. In my opinion, rising volumes in alternative investments, commodities and FX along with the irrational drop in BGCP stock price presents a perfect opportunity for long term investors.
