Just remember the old saying that still applies: buy low, sell high. The important question is how low and how high? Think boom and bust. https://www.thebalance.com/boom-and-bust-cycle-causes-and-history-3305803

Other important things to think about before buying stocks:
1. Do you have protection in place, such as a stop loss? This important feature reduces your risk by selling a stock automatically if a price falls under a certain price.
2. What are your financial goals? Think about your age, retirement status and risk tolerance.
3. Are you in a stock for the long haul approach, a swing or day trader? Can you read a stock chart and technical analysis? Computers dominate trading, and rely on charts and streaming data to buy and sell. This creates a fast pace environment that causes most traders to stress and lose money. One study found that only 1% of traders are persistently profitable!!!
