Is The Stock Market About To Crash?

Is the stock market about to crash?  Since I have no crystal ball I cannot say when. But I can say that the market is getting closer to the next crash.  The market crashes on average every 4 to 8 years. 

I can also say that many popular technical analyses say that timing the market does not work.  The stock market has proven to be the No. 1 place to invest for the long term basing on 100 years of history.

Also studies have shown the longer you hold a diversified portfolio, the better your returns will be. And.....

Stock market investing is for life and not the next market crash!

If you worried about your stocks or ETFs in your portfolio, consider Selling them! Sure.  But please don't do it because you are scared of the market crashing!

Sell them for good reasons like rebalancing your portfolio or because you need the money.   Or because the fundamentals of the stock have changed.

After all if you are worried about the market now - when things are going well, how are you going to feel when it does crash?  Probably frozen with fear!  Unable to act on anything but fear.  That is how most beginner investors felt during the depths of Covid 19 crash last year.  In doing so, they wiped away huge amounts from their investment accounts by selling at the worst possible time!

So this is the plan if the stock market crashes:

Keep your personal finances in check, costs low.

Forget about the financial media

Focus on what you own and why you own it

Stay invested and add money regularly 

And if the market crashes Add More, not less!

Remember Stock Market Investing is for life - Not the next market crash!

    i think many people fear that a crash will wipe out their assets and so they cannot sell and sustain their lifestyle during a recession

      Invest only with spare cash, then you can ride up n down, and reap returns in long run by buying more during crash. So don't worry about crash. Look at it as an opportunity to scoop value stock.

      The important thing is to have an emergency fund that is separate from the trading account. 👍😊

    There are speculations about market crash but so far it does not seems to. example, many technologies stock still rocking and even cryptos are doing well.

    Wise words indeed. I prefer to stay in the market than out of market. I simply buy during bigger dips than trying to time the market. Investors and traders think differently.
