Economic and market conditions are bleak. The U.S. economy grew at a tepid 0.7% in its fourth quarter, compared to the 2.6% growth it had in Q4 2014.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is also down 7% so far this year.
You can't afford to fully cash out of the markets, though. Your retirement and income may depend on it. Besides that, there's good reason not to right now.
And it goes back to investing 101: Buy low and sell high.

Money Morning's Best Stocks to Buy Now
- The mainstream financial news media is fixated on China's slowing economic growth. Sure it's slowing, but Money Morning Defense & Tech Specialist Michael A. Robinson reminds investors that China's economy is still growing three times the speed of the U.S. economy. At 6.9% growth, China's GDP is hardly something to downplay. In fact, there's still a lot of growth potential left in the world's fastest growing economy. Robinson has a series of investments for you to capture the bulk of China's growth in the next decade...
- The technological standards for today's cars have changed drastically compared to a decade ago. GPS and Bluetooth-equipped cars used to be considered a luxury. Now those features are almost expected in newer models. Many of today's cars are also loaded with self-driving technologies, lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control. These technological developments are actually a part of a $31 billion opportunity. Robinson lays out how you can get a piece of this opportunity with the big companies behind "connected car" technology...
- Playing IPOs correctly is tricky business. Many investors who rush into IPOs are misled by all the hype leading up to when companies go public. True, there's a lot of speculation in IPO investing. But there's always a way to invest smartly. Robinson has his eye on four upcoming tech IPOs that aren't on Wall Street's radar... yet. Rather than investing in them directly, Robinson has a play that will capture the upswing on all four of these "stealth" IPOs...
- There are a lot of penny stocks out there. Frankly, many of them aren't worth a penny. But there will always be the few winners that go on to become blue-chip stocks. Take Monster Beverage Corp. (Nasdaq: MNST), for instance. In 2003, Monster traded for less than a dollar. Yesterday, it closed at $123.44 a share. It's returned 100,000% gains to investors. Imagine riding Monster's climb all the way to the top! Money Morning Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald is sticking close to another future penny stock winner like Monster. This company is at the forefront of human augmentation technology using exoskeletons. While this company's stock slipped slightly this year with the market downturn, Fitz-Gerald expects extraordinary returns ahead...
