No! It's too soon. Stocks will go down again. They went down in the 30s and also during 2007-2009. The first dip was not the final dip.

It sounds like you're trying to time the market... Stocks are down and as long as the market exists they will recover. Going long now is a guaranteed profit

  Bad financial advice. Nikkei 255 was 25,000 in 1991, it has never hit that ATH in the 30 years since

    Japan's xenophobia is so strong that they don't care about doing what they need to to get back on top (embrace immigration). The USA may be headed in that direction but we are no where near the shitstorm of demographics and xenophobia that Japan is dealing with.

      > Japan's xenophobia is so strong that they don't care about doing what they need to to get back on top (embrace immigration). This old argument gets so tiresome. And then what? After they import 10 million people and then they stagnate again, do they have to import 20 million people? If the economic system depends on immigration, then there is something terrible wrong with the economic system and it needs to change. > The USA may be headed in that direction but we are no where near the shitstorm of demographics and xenophobia that Japan is dealing with. Nonsense. We are all xenophobic. It's human nature. Maybe we are better at hiding it now than japan, but that's probably not a good thing when you think about it. In times of crisis, japan is going to be better off as a homogenous and united population has proven to be far more stable than those with racial/ethnic/religion divisions/tensions.

    Good point that it's possible to lose decades. Our situation is also very different. This isn't the collapse of an economic bubble, and we haven't had 350% inflation over the last 6 years. This is an intentional economic halt. Our market was very healthy and robust. Recovery is highly likely
