Shares: who dares?

Now the world is facing what is said to be the biggest financial crisis since the Depression, and several banks all over the world are heading to potential bankruptcy and panic-stricken savers are rushing to withdraw their money, stocks are tumbling and an important question rises in our minds: Is it a good time to buy stocks? Rothschild once said that it is time to buy when there is blood in the streets and now the streets are pouring, people are hesitating because of the uncertainty and the high risks that are involved. Also according to investors now, today is the best opportunity to invest in a generation and their ideas influence people hoping for a tremendous rebound who are trying to secure their financial future. But the fluctuations of the stock market are unpredictable and only time will tell if the investing daredevils will be rewarded for their risky behaviour.
