The best time to buy stocks is when the price is low. For stocks investors, this is the time for shopping. During recession is the best time to buy stocks as most are down and people are selling their stocks like crazy. Why? Because they are afraid to lose all the money by keeping it. They have a point on that, but come think of it also on a positive side. After every downturn, stocks must also climb up and recover its true value (unless the company close down). Take note also that these companies are managed by the most qualified businessmen in their respective industry.
