Should You Really Be Buying Stocks Right Now?
The argument against pouring more money into stocks right now isn't a bad one. We're still technically in a bear market, after all, and a mixed midterm election result means the federal government probably won't be passing any major legislation in the foreseeable future.
If your instincts are telling you it's OK to keep buying, though, trust your instincts. Five years from now, the current weakness will be remembered as a great long-term entry point even if you don't end up stepping in at the exact low.
It's admittedly cliched to suggest "now" is a great time to get into the market or add to your existing portfolio; it seems there's never a bad time for true long-term investors to add to their stock holdings.
