Should we brace for a stock market crash?

[QUOTE="JT Smith, post: 6824530, member: 648656"] Trying to time the market is a bad idea. That's just Investing 101. If you think you can figure it out by reading a published article then you're too late. The market will have already reacted. If you think you can figure it out ahead of everyone else you're just gambling. There are good reasons to be concerned about the trajectory of the stock market in the coming years. But that was true at the start of the pandemic too. And it was true before then. To eliminate risk you sell everything but then you risk being run over by inflation. So you have to find a balance. I sold some things at those two times. I would have made more on paper had I not made those sales. But for me it was the right decision to reduce my investment risk in those areas. I don't regret it even though my net worth is less than it would have been had I done nothing. Investing 101 again: Figure out what level of risk is right for you. Consider the current economic environment as part of that but not the only thing, probably not the main thing. And then adjust your investments accordingly. Take a basic class on investing at a community college. Or get a good book and read it. [/QUOTE]
