If Not Now, When?

When should you enter the market? Why not now?


If not now, then when?

If your out of the market, which I know a lot of people are, then now is the
time you should be considering going back in.

If you're listening to the news as  your indicator then you'll probably never get back in. But if you look at a  simple chart like the S&P 500 you can see its making higher highs and higher lows. That alone is a good reason to get back in.

Now don't get me wrong things can change at anytime, that's why I keep emphasizing that you have to have a plan of what to do when things are going up and what to do when things are going down

This is the part most people miss and when I say most people I'm referring
to most advisors. This is why they tell you you can't time the market; you
have to stay the course. Because they are either to lazy to follow what's going
on or they are to busy trying to sell someone else instead of managing your
money.
