It’s Never To Early Or Late To Trade The Market

Equity markets worldwide have rallied by over 30 per cent since the beginning of March, and though once bitten twice, shy, it really looks like some kind of bottom has been established, and the rally is not just a dead cat bounce.

It’s easy to be sceptical, Niall Ferguson the acclaimed author of “The Ascent of Money” and Harvard University professor, reminds us that there were a number of rallies in between 1929 and 1933, the year the Great Depression finally ended. The fact of the matter is if you take a ten year view, then these valuations are probably going to be decent, even if they do not represent the absolute bottom. We all know the earlier we invest the better it is for our financial future.
