This is a great book by a great man...

It's generally true that there's no better time to start investing than now -- but what if "now" is during a pandemic?
How should you go about investing in the stock market during this ongoing corona-virus crisis?
Should you even start now?

For many people, the answer will be yes -- go ahead and get started building long-term wealth through stocks.

Set reasonable expectations

Start off by reading and learning enough about investing that you have reasonable expectations. Yes, stocks such as Amazon.com and Netflix have doubled and tripled and sextupled and septupled and more over the years, but that's not the norm -- and even those stocks didn't rise in a straight line. Over many decades, the U.S. stock market has advanced by close to 10% annually, on average -- though there are decades when it has done poorly and some individual years when it has gained by more than 20%. For best results, you'll need to be very patient -- your fortune in stocks is likely to be made over decades, not months or even years.

Compelling read from an authentic source

Returning to the pandemic environment we're in, how might it affect your entry into the stock market? Well, it triggered a big stock market crash that presented many bargain-priced stocks, as market crashes always do. Even shares of Amazon.com dropped by more than 15% over the course of about a month, and many stocks fell even more sharply. The market has regained much of what it lost, though, and Amazon shares have recently been near all-time highs.

Important work on 'planning'. Highly Recommend.

With the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic sweeping the globe, many of us are asking: where are the best places to invest money right now?

It’s a tough question to answer given that we have never been in this situation before. The entire world is about to go on a “time-out”. Even if there is a cure soon, and life returns to relatively normal, things may never return to exactly the way they were. And some even believe the air has come out of the bubble and that we are most likely headed for recession.

In my opinion, the best places to invest or keep your money right now due to Coronavirus are in (1) gold and silver, (2) cash in a safe in your home, (3) a maximum of $250,000 in FDIC insured banks, (4) farmland, (5) affordable rental properties, or (6) paying off your home. I’ll also talk about helpful financial tips during these tough times.

Better understand the role the stock market plays

Better understand the role the stock market plays in our economy

This pandemic uncertainty and indeterminate period of disruption, the economic pressure is expected to deteriorate. Falling prices or financial crises, whether they are due to recession or disease outbreak, can cause panic. Most often, situations like these create chaos. If you know how to respond to these dropping prices, investing during a pandemic would not be a problem for you. However, if you are facing a downward spiral for the first time, it might be overwhelming. Regardless of what your situation is, investing during a pandemic requires that you maintain focus, cost control evaluation, and an ability to choose investment strategies that will benefit you in the long-term. Remember that the formula to survive during an economic downfall has never changed in years. And it will be the same in the coming future. What that means is that you can become a smart market player by taking necessary steps that can hedge your portfolio through different options. But you also need to do your research to find out the highest reward options and opportunities with the lowest risk.

Stay disciplined and diversified in these markets

Bahl says. “Take advantage of opportunities that come up when you can, whether it be by adding cash or reallocating your portfolio. Continue to save even though it may be difficult, because even if you miss an opportunity, there will most likely be more in the future.”
