Should You Really Be Investing in the Stock Market Right Now?
You might be wondering if investing when the stock market is at or near its all-time high is a good idea. Before you decide, it's worth considering two factors: your risk tolerance and your investment time horizon. It's also worth looking at what has resulted from investing at previous all-time highs. Historically speaking, there has rarely been a bad time to put money to work assuming it's money geared for long-term investing.
Here, we'll go over some of the most important factors in deciding whether you should really be investing in the stock market right now.
Some people have an insatiable tolerance for investment risk: No amount of bitcoin tokens or GameStop stock is enough. For others, it's quite the opposite. No matter the type of investor you are, you should be evaluating risk from the standpoint of your total portfolio. That is, you should consider your entire financial situation and then assign risk from there.
