The market crashes every 6-7 y

The market crashes every 6-7 years. It's inevitable, but trying to predict exactly when is a fool's errand. If you listen to the doomers, you risk being locked out of epic market rallies like the one over the past 20 months.

Bears don't get to say "told you so" when the crash finally happens, because opportunity cost matters. If you care more about making money than being "right", then being early is the same thing as being wrong.

Is it Wise to Buy Stocks at Historical Highs?

Over the past year and a half, the S&P 500 has been rising, currently up nearly 50% from its low at the end of 2022. If you buy at historical highs and the market subsequently falls, your portfolio could suffer significant losses. Although buying at high points seems risky, if you can hold on firmly for the long term, this risk can be mitigated. ------------ Is it really wise to buy at historical highs? Have your bought at historical highs? Did you profit or lose moner?
