    A crash is at least a year probably more like 2 or 3 years away. The beginnings of the slowdown are there, "labor" shortages, rising oil prices, commodity prices and interest rates. Don't be surprised when it crashes if prices crash back down to where they are now.

    Always make sure you have plenty of cash for more purchases when it happens.

      Will this affect gene editing stocks?

        It's an excellent time. But what if you invest before it all bottoms out?

          I wouldn't wait for a collapse, I would just wait for corrections. Currently it's a bit expensive. The thing is you need to know when a share is over valued or under valued. I base my decisions on my distance learning business degree, where we were taught to analyse companies based on the annual report. I spent many hours analysing companies balance sheets and P&L. Once you have that training the stock market is a great investment. You can learn this stuff yourself or otherwise buy into funds and use timing. A constant amount each month into a fund, and money held back for the crash. My general rule is have enough cash to double your portfolio after a crash that means no more than 66% of your investment should be in the stock market during a boom.
