We can all agree that the best time to invest is right at the bottom of the market and the point of maximum financial risk is right at the market's top.
The challenge investors face is that when the market is at its bottom, people don't ‘feel’ like investing. And when the market is at its top, most investors find it hard not to buy – again because of how they ‘feel.’ All too often investors are influenced by short-term market movements rather than focusing on the longer-term trend and how this fits with their own investment objectives.
This is definitely a difficult time to invest. It’s easy to be put off by the markets sudden rises and falls – you will need to keep a clear head when many people are losing theirs. It’s also worth remembering that there can be opportunities when it looks like a bad time to invest.
