If I want to start using Stashaway, does it make sense for me to start now or wait till USD drop or wait till the coming market crash to start?

Considering how we're all uncertain as to when the Stock Market will crash, or when the USD will dip, when should I consider start using Stashaway?

As how the old adage goes, time in the market is better than timing the market. There is no right time to enter the market since the market is ever fluctuating. You can do dollar cost averaging to even out the risk.

Hi, good question. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) nobody can predict the markets, so nobody knows if the U.S. market is already "too high", we hear this since years by black swan prophets. However (like in the past), crashes will come, some of them pretty bad, some tolerable (like year and 2018).

To circumnavigate these crashes just invest regularly for cost averaging and use buy&hold strategy without fear nor panic.
