Episode 3291: Chelsea explains why waiting for the “perfect time” to invest is a losing strategy, showing how sitting on cash often results in missed growth and declining value due to inflation.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://smartmoneymamas.com/investing-in-peak-markets/ Quotes to ponder: "Timing the market is just as hard as picking stocks, but that is exactly what you’re doing if you are holding onto cash and waiting for a market downturn."
