History Says This Is the Best Way to Invest With Stocks at All-Time Highs
2023 has been a momentous year for the stock market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) reached new all-time highs in mid-December. The S 500 is within spitting distance of its own record level, and the Nasdaq Composite isn't far off.
If you've remained invested in the stock market throughout the past few years, then 2023 has provided more proof of what history has said countless times before: After bear markets and other significant market downturns, stocks have always recovered and rewarded long-term investors. But for many who lost confidence in stocks during 2022's bear market, 2023 has been frustrating, because it has shown how selling stocks at their lows can ultimately prove counterproductive.
Regardless of whether you have a stock-heavy portfolio or are just now thinking about investing in stocks, a look back at the past can reveal a lot about what the best strategy is when stocks are at all-time highs. It's not complicated, and many long-term investors will find that they don't have to change a thing about what they're doing in order to remain successful well into the future.
