Really want to buy certain stocks but I'm getting a vibe I shouldn't. Comparing general current stock prices to pre-2009 recession stock prices shows a large difference. If I buy now and a recession hits Im gonna get stuck bag holding rather than being able to buy cheap stocks. On the other hand stocks end up going up again for another year and I could've made gains. Looks like I'm basically trying to time an entry and exit before the next recession/depression rather than jist staying out consideing how long it's been since the last one.
