S&P 500 Bull Run Sparks Optimism and Caution Among Investors
-
The S&P 500 is in a bull market, up over 39% from recent lows in late 2022. This has investors feeling optimistic, though some worry the best returns have already happened.
-
There are still growth opportunities in this bull market. History shows late bull market investors can still see 200%+ returns over a decade.
-
No one knows the market's future. Downturns are unpredictable but normal, so long-term investors should ride them out.
-
Trying to time the market precisely rarely succeeds. Dollar-cost averaging (investing consistently regardless of market swings) can limit risk.
-
There's no perfect time to invest. Getting started sooner allows more time for compounded returns to build wealth.
