pink_me | When is the best time to invest? |
A friend of mine, accounting graduate, told me that the best time to invest is not now because the market in its highs, but in the end of May.
I have some money now and more coming at Christmas.
What would you recommend? |

This is a great question because it is a question that every investor, speculator, businessman, and person in this world asks and answers everyday of his life.
You are talking about when to invest your money, but it applies to your time, emotions, life and love! All of these require us to ask this question.
To your question: When is the best time to invest YOU MONEY? When you are ready to.
At this point in time, invest 50% of what you have in a 3 or 6 month CD that is yielding 5% or higher (you can let the CD roll or let it mature to invest later). Keep the other 50% in a brokerage account (even better if it is a money market account)so that you will be ready to invest in a mutual fund, EFT, or stock (With E*Trade you can do all of this. Check out Fidelity and other financial institutions or even your own bank).
Now let me ask you: How long to want to invest for? What sort of returns do you want? What are you saving for? Are you willing to lose your investment? How much are you willing to lose?
These are important questions to answer before you put a penny into the market and once you have an idea then you need to do some home work.
The best place to start is by picking a company you know and doing some reseach on it. This will get you familiar with what is going on in the economy and what factors will have an impact on your company.
Example: Apple
- what is their business model?
- are they making profits?
- how much do they make?
- are they are big or small company?
- how do they compare to their competitors?
- will they make money in the future?
- why do people buy their products?
- what will stop people from buying their products?
Now there is a lot to learn and you should look at other types of investments, but I don't want to overload you with too much information.
Start with what you know and invest when you are ready to. Get some perspective, do some research, and have fun doing it! |

If you have money now and you want to invest it than invest it. The friend is partly true that the spring time is the most favorable time to invest, not in May but before April 15th is "ideal" to invest in the stock market.
You don't have to invest in the stock, go with a bond or a CD until you want to invest in the market or let it cool off. But there are plenty of ways to invest in the market even when its at its highest. So check it out. Its much better invested than in a checking account somewhere. |

The best time to invest has to do with interest rates. If you think they are going to go up, don't invest. If you think you think they are going to go down, then invest your money.
They say not to invest your money in mutual funds in December because you are being charged for other peoples fees that were in the fund for the whole year. Better to wait until the new year. But I find that there is alway a mini rally in Nov-Dec. People feel good around Christmas and stocks usually go up. Likewise, sometimes when the weather is dark and gloomy for long periods, people get down and stocks go down. Sometimes stocks go down in the summer when people go on vacation. That didn't happen this year, there was a rally. So, you never know. To me, its all about interest rates. |

first of all you need to know what do you want to invest. the term of invest is too broad in here to ask. |

May is nonsense. Can invest in areas out of favor but with growth potential regardless of how overall market doing. If can do IRA - do it now & not in a bank or annuity. Don't go heavily into mutual funds in a non-retirement acct until Jan. IAU (gold) RRE (REIT) EWA (Australia) EFA (global) all good plays. feel free to e-mail any qs vegas_iwish@yahoo.com
"What goes uo must come down" - brilliant. Market was 700 in 1981. 12,100 now. Are we going to 700? no. |

The best time to invest was yesterday. If you did not invest yesterday then today will work. Listen to the folks that said start investing monthly in a roth/401k etc. The same people that say the market is at a high now, said the market would crash in Sept. It does not matter in 20 yrs if you invested in the summer or winter, just that you invested. |

If you invest now while the market is high .you're at risk. Remmember,what goes up must come down. And you don't want your investment going down,do you? Wait till the market goes down,then the only place for your money to go is up,up ,up. Good luck. |

Nobody knows when the best time to invest is. Yes your friend is right, the market is record high levels. It all depends on what you want to inves tin. You could for the mean time open a ING or HSBC online account that gives you a pretty nice rate of return. Risk free and earn about 5% interest. If you know that you are going to be receiving more money that you don't need then I would advise that you open a ROTH IRA. Do you ahve a full time job? Do they offer 401k plan. Take that option if you have that. If you're talking about stocks then my suggestion is that since you are a novice at investing, only buy large cap/blue chip companies that pay dividends. Do not buy as much as you can in 1 go. Average down or average up everytime you have spare money, that way if the stock goes down you can buy a little more at a cheaper price... |

It is true the market is at the top of a cycle right now. But that is not to say that there aren't good investments out there. The brokerage and banking industries are really good buys right now due to a flat yield curve and economic pressures to lower/hold interest rates. Goldman (GS) is a good buy right now due to it's low P/E and earnings potential.
I would not suggest buying any individual stock unless you are a gambler or have a lot of money. My personal portfolio is favoring a short position in the market (meaning I make money during a recession and pullback of prices). Always remember, you can make money when the market moves in any direction not just up! If you think we are overbought and prices are high, then short sell and reap the benefits! |
