Dont forget economy goes in cycles. And after each downturn, there will be recovery.

I think he should have cautioned that only people with deep pockets should go into stocks during market downturns. Obviously this is not for the faint hearted nor people who cannot afford to lose their investment money.

Unfortunately this forum was started in 2010, just after the market recovered from the 08/09 crisis, so we dont have any views from people during that tumultuous time. Otherwise I am very sure, we will see a lot of nay sayers about going into the stock and property markets during that time.

In 2010, the world economy was already in recovery mode and was certainly brighter with the big economies printing and pumping money into their economies and for 4 straight years (2011 to 2014), the stock and property market soared. Those who were quick and brave enough to go into property and stocks in 08/09 were amply rewarded.

We are seeing the cycle being repeated now. The economies are again putting into actions measures to help prop up their economies. Lets see by year end what the scenario will be.....,

Will you be regretting or will you be trumpeting your gains by then?
