Dear readers, needless to mention, the global stocks markets have been displaying quite a lot of volatilities in recent months, ever since the US Federal Reserves’ decision to increase interest rates.
Amidst this stocks markets backdrop, there are just two responses for investors.
The first response is to wait for the stocks markets to crash and then invest at discounted prices.
Second, continue to invest or trade nevertheless.
Of the aforementioned two approaches, I find it is only sensible to wait for the stocks markets to crash and then invest. This is because currently the market trend is inevitably bearish no matter how the stocks markets have at times shown up positive moves.
Sustained upside gains in my views are limited and investors will be better off by being focused. What’s good way to become focused by going into the stocks markets and buying stocks at discounts at the bottoms or one of the bottoms of a stocks markets corections.
However, in case you are waiting for the stocks markets to crash, my advice for you is don’t wait. The stock markets crash will not happen when everyone is expecting. It will happen when everybody is not expecting it.
The most important investors have to bear in mind is that when the stocks markets crash come, be sure that you have an investment warchest in place.
There is actually another response, that is to sell off some or most of the investments that you hold. But I would urge all to do this, only if these are the stocks that will continue not to do well going forward.
