Is Now a Good Time to Invest Or Should I Wait for a Crash?
Is Now a Good Time to Invest Or Should I Wait?
Investing right now is scary. Stocks are near all-time highs. Bond prices are high, sending yields to historic lows. The Fed keeps buying bonds to keep yields low. And our country's debt is nearing $30 trillion.
Whether and how to invest today depends in part on whether you are dollar cost averaging or have a lump sum to invest. The effect of a bear markets is vastly different between these two approaches. In this video we'll use the tech bubble crash to back-test whether you should start investing now or wait. And for those with a lump sum to invest, we'll compare investing it all at once versus spreading it out over 12 to 24 months.
One thing I didn't discuss in the video is whether one should not invest at all--lump sum or dollar cost averaging--until the market changes. The problem with this approach is knowing when to get back into the market. Most people miss a lot of returns because they bought in too soon or waiting too long. Timing the market rarely works, and it never consistently works over a lifetime of investing.
