Now is a great price to buy stocks

[flowerhorn]

I know many of you would think that I am crazy. With the downturns in the economy and the impending recession, you would think it is absurd to do so. But I tell you one thing. Great value can be found in stocks right now when the economy is down and no one want them. You can start fishing for bargain level quality stocks and I am sure you will make a handsome profit out of it in a year or two.

Care to prove you aren't crazy?

I would say at least 3-5 years with the current market conditions.

Giving advice to buy stock in this market might well make us into the village idiots of 2009, but I still strongly believe that now is the time to start investing again. Don't wait until everyone else decides it's safe, and the market move up a thousand points. You will miss the boat, and lose out on the early advantage.

Hi,

I am thinking of better ways to invest for future. I read that stock market is one great method. but I'm very new to the field. from where I can find help? I found one resource at bizymoms experts.Jason Kelly. Stock Market Investing Basics: Get an Ideal Stock Market Investing Basics and Finance Advice. has anyone read any of his below books.

* The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing (revised 2008 edition)
* The Neatest Little Guide to Do-It-Yourself Investing
* The Neatest Little Guide to Mutual Fund Investing

or any other recommendations for a starter?

That's the best advice I can give to a new investor looking to buy into -- but also mitigate -- this volatile market. That said, it's hard advice to follow. First, $100,000 is not the kind of money folks just have lying around. I know I don't. Second, which stocks would you put it in if you did? There are nearly 3,000 dividend payers trading on the U.S. markets alone, and there's no way to tell at a glance which are good buys.The good news is that we can work around these limitations.Considering the pounding that most stocks have endured, there's no reason to buy overpriced stocks. I use two valuation ratios, forward price-earnings and price-sales, to limit the field to reasonably priced stocks with room to run.
