I have stopped investing after the banks crashed, is it safe to invest again?
Only if you’re extremely good at protecting your investments. Anything less, stay far away from stocks.
Maybe, my Grandfather has a few stocks but they are all still dropping… it may only be the stocks he has, but I’m not sure.
Check to stock market to see what is going up/down!
(I assumed you meant investing in stocks, I’m not sure if you mean investing in something else.)
Which banks have crashed? Where? Nothing on the 11 o’ clock news
Now the economy is recovering well and this is the right time to invest. Select proper investment plan and start to invest soon. For more details about investment please log onto https://huroninvestments.com/Contact_Us.html
The markets are very volatile at the moment, even the professionals are losing money (Goldman Sach made a big loss on derivatives in the last quarter because of the wild fluctuations in the market) so you would be well advised to stay of the market for the time being. The outlook for the US economy is uncertain which is why there is so much volatility.
If you want safety select a CD. Other forms of investment entail risk.
Maybe.. if the government will repeatedly hold your hand like everyone else’s with stimulus money.
There is a lot of risk in the markets right now.
The best indicator I know of is the 150 and 200 day moving averages. You want to be invested in stocks where the stock or index is above the 150 DMA, and the 150 DMA is sloped upward.
When the 150 DMA flattens out or turns down, it is signalling that the trend may be changing.
Right now, the S&P 500 index is right at it’s 150 & 200 DMA. Not too long ago, the index price was below the moving average.
Incidentally, the S&P500 index price was above it’s moving average from mid-2009 thru early 2010 and was sloped upward, indicating that was a good time to invest. The markets rose 50% or more during that time.
The flattening out of the moving averages indicates there is a lot of uncertainty in the market. It’s possible the markets could decline for several months or longer due to a slowdown in the economy, which would cause the moving averages to begin declining. Right now, there isn’t enough information to know whether to stay safe in cash or invest in stocks.
The only thing that will provide the answer is the market itself. It will take a little time for the market to establish direction, and that will show up in the behavior of the moving averages.
