Is this a good time to invest in stocks?

I don't own any stocks at this time but I used to, and I still keep an eye on the pulse of the global economy! Really about 6 months ago was the best time to buy for the most growth. the market as far as stocks go is usually way out front of any recovery. People who hedge and wait until they are positive the recovery is in full bore, have missed the boat! However at this time you'll still make more than you would keeping your cash in a bank! But there is always some risk involved, the world can always go downhill! tdemex

Hello creationhub.
In my opinion,when to invest in stocks is not the first problem,and in fact,despite the state of economy of the world,some investors win but some others lose in the stock investment at any time.one will not earn if his investment strategy is not correct.so i think you should make a plan at first according to your state of economy,it will helps you to get much even the world's economy is shakened.
Good luck!

I don't know if this is a good time to invest in stocks. But I would think it is since stocks are going to go back up and its good to invest when stocks are down. But I want to start investing in stocks would love to open an etrade account but have no idea how to.

Now stocks are going down,we hope it will increase from monday better to invest your hard worked money in gold market,there is no risk in investing gold market..

Looking at the state of the economy, with the crisis on hand, I think this could be a good time to invest in stocks during the lowest price. As the law of gravity applies to the law of investment, when one reaches the bottom, there is no other way but to go up and vice versa. Anyway, when the price is down, your loss is only a paperloss. It is only when you redeem that you realize the actual loss. You could always wait until the price stabilizes. Why not opt for something like a low risk investment such as bonds. Although its volatility is almost the same with stocks especially with long term bonds, at least it is callable and can be redeemed when the price is good. One should assess first one's aversion to risk. In this way, you could always avoid too much risk that you cannot take. There is always a lot of investment options that could help you build up your funds without necessarily exposing you to too much risk.

There are many types of investments like bank fds, lic, gold and stock etc but those want highest returns shold prefer stock. They should invest 45% of their savings to stocks in order to beat inflation. But this is not the time to invest in stocks we should wait for a correction of 30%

Remember the Golden rule of investing in Stock "Never try to time the Market".
So your question is invalid here.
I would invest in stocks now and at every decline. Always buy fundamentally strong stock and never worry about the short term price variation.
Buy for long term.
Even if the Stock market shuts down tomorrow, you should be able to get good and sound sleep.
For this, buy fundamentally strong stock.
