This is commonly referred to as a technical recession, though we're not officially in a recession right now. Is it really safe to invest right now? If you don't have any emergency savings, it might be wise to focus on that goal before you invest in the stock market. Also, if you're investing for a short-term goal, it might be best to hold off for now. For instance, if you're investing money that you expect to use for a down payment on a house in the next few months, that could be risky.
