Is it a right time to buy STOCKS when they are at their all time high?
Or should I wait till it retraces and buy it on its dip?

Never buy stocks or shares or any other commodity when the price is at an all time high. It can only go in one direction from there - down! Investors dump stocks when they are at a high which, as a result of simple economics, pushes the price down.Watch and wait; when the price has fallen to a level you feel comfortable with, then buy. Watch the price go up and sell!

It depends on the stock and what you expect it to do in the future. In August of 2004 the price of Google stock was $100 per share. Very expensive. An all time high for Google? Today it is trading at $637 and change. The same is true for the flip side though so you must do your research about the company and not just look at the price of the stock. Cisco topped out around $70 or $80 something in 2000 and plummeted to the teens a year later. Today it's worth about $32. per share. don't just ride the wave, research and make a decision, not a guess. good luck.

Bernard Baruch a world famous economist and Noble Prize winner was asked that very same question years ago and his answer - "The best time to buy stocks is when you have the money!"

The answer does not depend on what the price is now compared with what it was in the past. The answer depends on what you expect to happen to the price in the future. If you expect the price to continue going up then you want to buy. If you expect the price to fall then you want to avoid it - or wait for the price to fall then re-evaluate the stock.

One of the worst mistakes you can make in investing is looking at the past to decide what to do in the future. Even if something has followed a pattern in the past, there is nothing to say the pattern will hold in the future.

Probably the one exception would be if you're making a decision based on a news item and looking at how the market reacted to similar news in the past. For example, when interest rates fall, stock prices tend to rise; when retail sales are down, stocks fall; when a company announces layoffs, their stock usually rises.

i would hold back until the stocks making 52 week lows out number the stocks making 52 week highs. that is on all 3 exchanges (NASDQ<NYSE<AMEX). i find this is the best time to start buying up stocks.


PirateFan777
Not really. Usually, there is a reason that that is their all time high. Usually, you want to look for companies that are new to the market and have a shot at becoming big for a few reasons. 1) They are cheaper.
2) You don't risk as much money as you would with a big company, and
3) If you hit a winner, the payout could be huge in the end, rather than a large stock, where you are not sure if it will hit higher so that you may make money or not.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

we cant say and wait for the down time.
just buy with half of ur investment money and wait for the down and then buy at the bottom using ur remaining investment amt.


Feeling Mutual
Only if the stock price will go up after you buy them. NOBODY CAN PREDICT THAT.

No matter what price that you buy a stock at, the price will go down after you buy, what matters is that you sell it for more than you bought it for.

The only thing at an all-time high is the S&P and dow 30. Hence, obviously not all stocks are at a high. Search out what interests you, whether or not, each is at or near a high, then make decisions.


Barney
No, that's a no brain-er. Every stock will give the investor another opportunity to enter in. Wait for the pull backs. Looking at the chart on most stocks, a defined level of support and resistance can be ascertained by noting at what price level the stock had difficulty breaking through and at what price level it bounces off of and moves up. The trend is your friend.


kokopelli
Buy high, sell low is never a good way to come out ahead.

You would be better off to buy stocks when they are at their all-time low... when things peak the lemming instinct is to buy at the high price, and then the next thing that happens is the price takes a dive and the lemmings all lose.

Go for it if you want, you will anyway if you think like a lemming.


Gaines J
No, because when they fall, as previous investors sell to take out profits, you will be stuck. The best time to buy is after a market correction, and after the profit taking, when the stock's price is lower.
