Will assuming the market will bring returns fail us?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Some of you will undoubtedly tell me I'm just a fool trying to time the market and that it's been proven time and time again that it doesn't help. I want to throw out there a serious concern I have, that at these valuations, dollars invested may not bring a return. I'm 32 years old and I'm extremely concerned looking at a market that is historically extremely overvalued. In truth, I am tempted to liquidate my stocks. A crash is inevitable. I know that over 30 years or so I probably wouldn't wind up in the red with dollars spent today, but from a historical perspective we are simply overpaying for stocks by a wide margin. I think it is highly probable that there will be a crash relatively soon and it could be a decade or more before stocks return to the levels we see right now. I'm just wondering whether anyone is thinking along these lines and wondering whether a conventional approach to the market could actually fail those of us of a certain horizon.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/StophJS"> /u/StophJS </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/odjegx/will_assuming_the_market_will_bring_returns_fail/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/odjegx/will_assuming_the_market_will_bring_returns_fail/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
