Otherwise if you’re investing for the next 15+ years, then trying to time the market is generally a bad idea since the market is often irrational in the short run. Bonds are a good option right now if you have medium-low risk tolerance. Interest rates are relatively high and prices will probably be rising if this recession comes as we all expect. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago Thanks for the advice. I have been looking at other savings type account including bonds. I have been shopping around as well for other financial accounts with high interest rates. My country's banks don't offer high interest rates unlike other countries. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AndiHutch@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago I mean yes, but I doubt the average lemmite is in the top 10% of stockholders that have the lion's share of affect on the market since they own like 90% of the market (or some outrageous number like that, I don't know the exact numbers offhand). Investment moves made by small players are probably tiny compared to what the rich and their asset managers do when they sell / buy. permalink fedilink source parent [–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago Do it dot gif permalink fedilink source parent
