I am thinking of investing in the stock market. A good time?

Hi all, just looking for a couple of pointers as to what type of fund people think is appropriate to invest in with the market in it's present state?

Do you think now is a good time to even invest in the market?

Thanks for any suggestions

    ..is my advice for what it's worth ...or wait for some major stock markets, eg. Wall Street, to be shut down (as happened in Russia recently),before dipping your toe in the water on the re-open.
    From my perspective,there's more downside coming.
    Inverse ETF's are cleaning up at the moment and could still be a good call.
    Research what happened in 1929-1933 and go from there.
    The UK (and US +others) seem to be entering the phase of rapidly rising unemployment.
    In these days of the internet things will happen quicker then the 1920's.
