I heard where the market is yesterday and thought, “Oh man, those that think it’s recovered and it’s time to get back in are being suckered. It’s starting to look like a sine wave, and it’s on it’s zenith again.
I've been investing in the stock market since 1982 and I'm always being told that I'm being suckered in and that any day now, the house of cards will fall and I will then get my "comeuppance".
(Doom and gloomers are forever using that word..."comeuppance.")
It's now been 33 years and I'm still waiting...
When the market is at its peak is the prime time to get in if you follow the maxim of “buy high, sell low.” You buy when everyone else is selling. Of course, if it were that easy, we’d all have yachts.
My advice? Buy as often as you can and hold. Or if your investments leave you with sleepless nights, buy mutual funds comprised of the S&P 500 and leave it alone. Mutual funds are rated by how they perform against the S&P 500 and very few of them outperform the 500. So buy the 500 and sleep nights.
