Should You Really Be Investing in the Stock Market Right Now?

Investing in the stock market always carries risk, but now with a market correction likely, it can feel even riskier. There's a real chance that investors will lose some of their money in the short term, and it leaves some wondering whether they should sell or at least hold off on investing more until things are on the up and up again.

The answer isn't as straightforward as you might think. There are times it makes sense to avoid investing, but for most people, fears of a market correction shouldn't keep them away.
