The logic for investment is buying low and selling high
This is mainly the logic behind trading not investing. When you trade, specifically in short term, you are looking for dips to buy in and to sell in a very short time afterwards.
However, when you make an investment you look at the long term potential of the asset and whether it has reached that potential yet or not.
And unfortunately too many newbies do the opposite, buy high and sell low.
I had a funny thought when I saw the thread title, Is it safe to buy now?
not if you are planning to buy off someone down a dark alley some night!
With a long term outlook, the right time to buy is NOW
