Any idiot can see we are in an uptrend. If I inherited $500k would I dump it all in the market at these levels cause it’s “zero risk”. Of course not, and neither would anyone else that’s being advised correctly.
Ouch hope that is a hypothetical 500K you are talking about because you have missed out on so much money if you aren’t putting it in this market haha
That's why I said "if". How do you know $500k dumped into the market today would make so much money. What is your timeframe? I can tell you with certainty it will at least be up 5-10 years from now with near certainty. But tomorrow or a year from now? Absolutely not.
Time in the market beats timing the market as they say. Just join the party and buy, I will take the bet up in a week! Boom I bought more!
And that's fine. The current uptrend (and history) tell us that is the higher probability play - but it's far from certain and zero risk
It does become more difficult to find stocks with low to medium valuations atm, but there are a few around if you pick through the mass, there are always some around which had been unloved and could be recovering. There may be some gold & silver stocks as this sector is not toppy I doubt. Then Utility type stocks usually hold up on market downturns. But finding a spot to park $500k onto stocks, yep, wouldn't be easy, this is where coding comes in handy, searching through hundreds of stocks for clues for something recovering. Placing large bets on stocks atm, hmmmm, risky, unless reporting season throws up a beaut result for a stock. Natural gas stocks are getting a hiding, there maybe something in there beaten down hard. Coal stocks too but I'm not keen on this sector, I think coal is a dying industry. Lithium stocks have been whacked, maybe something there....
Woo buy the dips! WHO says a health emergency but no need to restrict global travel is bullish apparently! This markets insane
