Is there any point at all in buying any shares or index funds right now?
Even if there isn't the widely expected correction, because things are so overvalued right now, right across the board, most forecasts expect growth to be very minimal for quite some time.
Although of course, the big unknown is how much more legs the bull has left. He does seem to be running out of steam though.
But because recent growth has been so exceptional and current valuations are so high, that just cannot keep on carrying on indefinitely. Can it?
It's kind of an 'academic point' for me right now anyway tbh, as I've recently had to clean out my emergency fund due to one of life's major expenses having just happened. So any spare money will be going towards trying to top that back up again, for the foreseeable.
