Ep. 10 - The Market is so Volatile! Is Now a Good Time to Invest?


Listen Later

“The markets are volatile… should I cash out?”

“Is now a good time to invest… or should I wait until things settle down?”


If these questions are keeping you up at night — you’re not alone. With everything going on in the world — elections, tariffs, war, recession fears — it feels like the worst time to invest... or is it?


In this episode, Ben and Arnold tackle the age-old debate: market timing vs. time in the market. We break down why trying to guess the perfect time to invest almost never works — and why staying invested is the key to long-term success.


We cover:

✅ Why market timing feels like the smart choice (but usually isn’t)

✅ What happens if you miss the market’s best days

✅ How we build portfolios designed to weather volatility

✅ When it is a good time to invest — and when it isn’t

✅ Practical steps to take when markets feel scary
