Good time to buy shares?

Is it a good time to buy shares?
The reason i ask is because in february this year the price of a share on the general market in the company i work for was £3.83, now i know all shares are going down even in companys that are still doing well an have strong fundamentals so at the current share price of £1.87 on the general market should i buy?. When i say general market i mean people who are not employees of the company.I can get further discounts i.e buy 5 shares get one free as an employee meaning the shares would be around the £1.50 mark. Should i or shouldn't i?

    Why ask anyone one this Forum ?

    You work for the Company, so you will have a much better idea as to it's situation.

    Each individual Company is different and seperate............the value of the various Stock Market Indicators should not have a bearing on the decision.

    If you think they are a good buy, thenm go ahead. If not don't.
