quennethe | Is a recession/depression a good time to buy stocks? |
My job offers a stock purchase option which I have always considered because we get 50% off. What I'm wondering is if this recession/depression that we are vin or heading into is a good time to buy stocks because of the cheaper price? When should you then buy? How will you know when it's done dropping?
Or should I just hide my money under my pillow? |

50% off is good.
You buy a share for $10. Then just sell at $20.
You pay your taxes. But would still make about $8. |

Yes, it is a great time to invest if you invest in the right companies. Don't buy a stock just because it is cheap. Most companies stock prices are going down because of our economy but most of them will go back up when the market turns. Since you are considering buying stock in the company that you work in you should have a good idea of how the company is doing. Are there rumors of lay-offs or has there been lay-offs in the past couple of years? Is your company expanding? What is the overall feel of the company of the employees that you work with? Do not use your company syock as a retirement plan. If you company goes belly-up so does your retirement money. Remember Enron.
Hiding your money under your pillow is a bad idea. Your money will lose it's value each year because of inflation. If you don't want to invest it then at least put it into a CD or a savings account that earns you better interest then your local bank. I use ing.direct because it pays me almost 4% while my bank is .05%.
EDIT - Also, just because a stock that you have bought decreased in value it doesn't mean that you lost any money unless you sell it at the low value. Don't listen to negative people, they are the ones who hold others down.
EDIT - The stock crash of the 1930's was abnormal. We are a country that the world relies on. We have ways that will fend off a huge depression like the one back in the 30's. Our companies are world wide enterprises unlike the past. Many foreign companies operate in the U.S. Many people and companies bring in money from other countries. We are a world economy. Back in the 30's we were more "isolated". Just look at what happened this past year. Bank of American is the largest bank in the U.S. Last year, foreign countries gave them a bunch of money to keep them afloat. They did this because the world will suffer without the U.S. Yes, we can have a depressiion but not like the one in the past. |

Depends on your goals when you buy a stock. If you,re looking years down the road where you will not touch the money invested in the stock, then it is a good time to buy. If you are wanting the money within the same year, then you better not buy any stock. A recession is a good time to load up when the stock prices fall if you are investing into your future. BUT MAKE SURE YOU ARE BUYING QUALITY COMPANIES. Preferably companies that are international which means they sell their products all over the world. |

Yes, its an opportunity, but be careful not to get too much of your portfolio invested in any one stock, including your own company's. |

Buy hard assetts you can lay your hands on like real estate. If the economy goes into a major depression stocks might be worth nothing but land or things you can use will make it thru to the other side. |

see....it is so that the stocks drop during the recession period but you see it definitely doesnt mean that its a time to buy....a recession period spans over a huge time and it is wise to invest when you hear news like the recession is over....or something that tells you that the economy should be grow at its normal rate now...
recession is the slowing down on the economy due to various factors....both macroeconomic and micro.....so make sure you watch out for such information....
right now the economy is yet to enter into a recession phase and which will see the stocks move down...i would rather ask you to follow technical recommendations to know where to enter and exit a stock...again since you get it so cheap....i would really ask you to look for technical advisors to enter and exit from stock....

No, I would not invest any money into the stock market or any other market. If you look back in History where this country went into depression in the 1930s you will find that the stock market crashed! That is why in the 1930s everybody went into depression. If the Untied States is already in a recession I think it is wise not to invest into Stocks right now. |

Don't invest in the "stock market".
Instead, investigate individual companies. See how their products fit into the global economy. Look at their business history. These things are easy to do on the internet.
Then, buy the stock at a low point. And be prepared to hang on to it for quite a while. There's no such thing as a quick buck - at least not legally, anyway.
The people that consistently make the most money from stocks always know about the companies they invest in, and they keep their stock for months or even years. |
