When is the Best Time to Invest in the Market?

Posted on December 11, 2018 by DividendDiplomats

The following is a guest post from one of our friends, discussing a topic that we haven’t written about too frequently on our website. Sure, we screen stocks to identify undervalued dividend growth stocks. But we haven’t covered identifying the best time to trade for both short-term and long-term investors. Please see the following post to learn more!

The best time to invest in the market depends on many factors, such as your investment goals and time horizon. Naturally, investors and traders who have a shorter-term horizon can accumulate substantial losses if they invest their funds in bear markets and traditionally underperforming months.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the best times to invest in the market both for short-term traders and long-term investors, and show you a few tricks that can help you decide what’s the best time to sell your investments. Continue reading →
