The stock market: When to get in, and when to get out

There’s no ‘one-size-fits-all’ answer to this vexing question

INVESTING IN THE STOCK MARKET can seem intimidating.  Questions such as “Is now the right time to invest?” and “When should I sell my shares?” are among the most common concerns for both new and experienced investors.

Naturally, while everyone hopes to buy at the lowest price and sell at the highest, the stark reality is that consistently timing the market is almost impossible.  Instead, successful investing depends on careful planning, patience, and a long-term strategy.
