The stock market has gone crazy, experiencing all-time record losses. What an opportunity. Folks tend to think they have lost too much value to dare making any changes today. They think they must wait until the market recovers in order to justify making a move. Their broker told them to “buy and hold” or perhaps to “dollar cost average.” However, now is the time.
