At least once a week, a client will give me a reason why they don’t want to invest in the US stock market. They mention the headlines (which are designed to scare investors), and talk about the crisis-du-jour, or reference the looming economic dark clouds growing in the distance.
And so they sit in cash, with its perceived safety, waiting for the dust to settle, the clouds to clear, and the right time to invest.
But will it ever come… will it ever be so clear to the investor as to when they should invest?
Perhaps not.
