The Dow Jones Just Hit a Record High: Should You Buy Stocks Now?: https://g.foolcdn.com/editorial/images/763504/mobile-stock-trading.jpg

After a terrible 2022, one that saw the market tank amid rapidly rising interest rates, investors benefited from a bounce-back year in 2023. And the momentum has continued into 2024.

Just look at the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI). The widely followed index rose 13.7% in 2023. And it just hit a fresh all-time high on Feb. 2. Investor optimism is certainly on the way up.

But if you're someone who missed this rally, should you still buy stocks right now?
