Taking investing decisions these days is not easy.
Especially when one simply does not know or cannot reliably with 80 % certainty forecast what the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States and to a large extent of the planet's next move will be.
One past candidate for the Board of Governors of The Federal Reserve said something like 'The Federal Reserve has Soviet type of power'.
Federal Reserve's power is of 100 % Soviet type not, I think, since free markets simply did not exist in the Soviet Union.
Free marketeers, economic classicists like me, however, might say that with all the 'obstructions' nowadays, it is also difficult to speak of entirely free markets. But 70 % to 89 % the global market for capital, labor and services is free, I would opine.
Personally, I still trust the fundamentals. If one company has good management and a stable, sound business, based on a competitive advantage it should be viewed as a stable candidate for investing, in my opinion.
Barring a Black Swan event.
The market should be left to, at least to 70 % - 80 %, clear.
Otherwise, the constant money printing, money creation mess will get humanity into trouble, I think.
A good judgement is critical these days, in my humble opinion.
