4 Stocks to Start Your Investing Right Now
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.
-- Chinese proverb
Right now, we're experiencing an ongoing global pandemic, the economy is struggling, and the U.S. presidential election could yield contested results. If that all sounds like a terrible time to start investing, you'd be wrong! Now is always a great time to start investing.
Like the Chinese proverb suggests, big things need time to grow; the sooner you get seeds in the ground, the better. With plants, sometimes it's best to wait for optimal growing seasons since the annual cycle is predictable. But the market isn't that way; we never truly know what's going to happen next. Looking back through history, however, shows that stocks go up more often than they go down. Therefore, you can play the odds by regularly investing regardless of the season.
