When is the right time to buy a stock?
In short: Nobody can spot the bottom in advance, not even AIs: the radar's test on 5,000 cases shows it. For a long-term investment, investing regularly saves you from having to pick the moment.
What the radar's test shows
On years they never saw, the radar's AIs do not guess whether a price will be higher in a month better than the rule "it always goes up". Short-term direction is very close to random: waiting for the "right moment" often means missing gains.
Investing in several steps
Buying the same amount every month makes you buy more shares when prices are low and fewer when they are high. You never buy at the very bottom, but never everything at the top either.
What can be predicted
Volatility (how much a price will move) and the risk of a sharp drop are far more predictable than direction. The radar shows both for every stock: useful to decide how much to invest, not when.
FAQ
Should I wait for a crash to buy?
People who wait for a crash often miss years of gains first. And when it comes, few dare to buy.
