Down 24%, Is It Safe to Invest in the Nasdaq Right Now?
Despite a decent rebound in July, the Nasdaq composite is still down nearly 24% from its recent highs. That kind of volatility is enough to spook even veteran investors, and it raises key questions on what to do next. Indeed, one key question is whether it is safe to invest in the Nasdaq right now, or whether things could get worse.
The direct answer is simple: No it is not safe to invest in the Nasdaq right now. Then again, it's never "safe" to invest in stocks, particularly in the short term. The real question you should be asking is whether you're really in a spot to where you should be investing in the Nasdaq.
