Recently graduated and got a decent paying job, but I’m afraid to begin investing at an all-time high market

I am lucky enough to have no debt & minimal expenses, so I can put basically however much of my paycheques towards investing.

I’d love to begin investing in ETF’s and blue chip stocks but it frightens me that basically everything I see is at an all time high, partnered with the fact that I always hear of an inevitable recession coming.

I’ve seen a few comments saying time in the market beats timing the market, is this always true? Although I’d be investing for the long term, I can’t help but imagine that I’m entering at the worst time.

I was planning on regularly investing every week no matter the price, so I set up recurring deposits into my Questrade TFSA but paused it after the first deposit to rethink it all.

Good answer! Good answer! claps hands in family feud

Statistically speaking, investments go up & depending on risk, they also go down. That doesn't negate the fact that they've been a benefit to people's retirement funds & TFSA's. It's a system that fluctuates, but yeah, it's a consistent upward trend.

People lose a lot of money when they day trade, buy fake coins, invest in a shoddy business schemes.

But a lot of "investments" that people often benefit from are like Healthcare, technological and mechanical advancements, entirely new and innovative concepts etc etc.
