Up 4% in 2023, Is It Safe to Invest in the Stock Market Right Now?: https://g.foolcdn.com/editorial/images/715662/woman-with-fingers-crossed-laptop.jpg

Quite frankly, investors got spoiled. From 2009 through 2020, we enjoyed the longest bull market in history. Sure, COVID-19 caused a steep sell-off. But stocks quickly rebounded. More retail investors began buying stocks than ever before.

Then the bottom fell out. The S&P 500 did something it's done only seven times since the index has existed by plunging 19.4%. Reality set in that the stock market doesn't always go up.

But it's also important to recognize that stocks go up more often than they go down. The S&P 500 is up 4% so far in 2023. Is it safe to invest in the stock market right now?
