It will be a great time to invest in the stock market.

People forget the 2008 crash. In March, 2009, before Obama policy was passed, the DOW bottomed out at 6,547.05.

It's currently at 49,704.34.

If you had invested in an index fund back then, you would have earned 7.59x your money.

    Yup

    Issue is, if it affects a lot of things, like 2008, people will likely not have jobs at all or their salaries would go down or stagnate, so people probably won't be able to invest.

    At least, my parents told me they struggled during that time. I thought common people weren't much affected but according to them I was wrong.

    All in all I really hope that when it happens I'll be able to invest.
