Long-Term Investors Should ‘Absolutely Buy Now,’ Says Wharton’s Jeremy Siegel
In a landscape marked by economic uncertainty and volatility, the words of renowned economist and finance professor Jeremy Siegel from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania have resonated with long-term investors. Siegel asserts that now is an opportune time for those with a patient investment philosophy to dive into the market and seize potential growth.
Market Conditions and Opportunities
Siegel’s bullish stance comes amidst a backdrop of fluctuating interest rates, inflation concerns, and geopolitical tensions that have caused many investors to adopt a wait-and-see approach. However, Siegel argues that such conditions create a fertile ground for strategic investors. He highlights that market corrections, while often unsettling, can present unique buying opportunities for those who are willing to maintain a long-term perspective.
“The market is not going to be this low for long,” Siegel expressed in a recent interview. He stresses that historically, markets have rebounded from downturns and that reactive selling usually leads to lost opportunities. For long-term investors, keeping a steady hand and recognizing the cyclical nature of markets can yield impressive returns.
Focusing on Fundamentals
A key component of Siegel’s investment philosophy is his emphasis on fundamentals. He encourages investors to focus on companies with solid earnings, strong balance sheets, and favorable growth prospects. In an age where technology and innovation are driving significant changes across industries, Siegel believes that there are numerous companies poised for long-term success.
“Investors should seek out stocks that may be undervalued or overlooked due to current market sentiments,” he advises. His recommendations often include sectors that are expected to benefit from long-term trends, such as renewable energy, technology, and healthcare. By focusing on fundamentals, investors can align themselves with companies that are not only surviving the current market conditions but are also equipped to flourish in the years to come.
The Power of Time
Siegel underscores the importance of time in investing. Many investors, especially inexperienced ones, tend to react to short-term market fluctuations, leading to poor decision-making. The core of Siegel’s argument is that a long-term investment strategy can mitigate the risks associated with short-term volatility. The concept of ‘time in the market’ often outweighs ‘timing the market.’
Historically, the stock market has experienced positive returns over extended periods, and Siegel sees no reason to believe this trend will falter. He points to the resilience of the U.S. economy and the capacity for innovation and growth as critical factors that support his investment outlook.
Mitigating Risks with Diversification
For those looking to buy in today’s environment, Siegel emphasizes the need for diversification. While he encourages confidence in equities, he also suggests constructing a balanced portfolio that includes a mix of asset classes. This strategy can help mitigate risks and enhance the potential for returns over time.
In addition, Siegel points out the importance of understanding one’s own risk tolerance and investment horizon. Tailoring an investment strategy to individual circumstances can further enhance the likelihood of achieving financial goals.
Conclusion
Jeremy Siegel’s advocacy for long-term investment during turbulent times provides a compelling narrative for investors looking to navigate the current market. While short-term uncertainties may cloud the investment landscape, his counsel to ‘absolutely buy now’ is rooted in a broader understanding of market dynamics, the significance of company fundamentals, and the virtues of patience in investing.
For long-term investors, the call to action is clear: seize the opportunities presented in today’s market and focus on building a robust investment strategy that embraces the principles of diversification and time-tested historical trends. Investing is not merely about responding to market changes but about commitment to a vision that extends beyond immediate fluctuations.

Dont forget the canadians boycotting usa
I suggest follow Warren Buffet. He sold most stock positions prior Trump taking office and Berkshire most liquid ever. So do you follow the Oracle or this? Hint, dont over think it.
Jeremy was spot on
If you're a LT Investor, just dollar cost average. Stop timing the market. LOL
The volatility in the market is alarming. How can i diversify my reserve across multiple markets while creating a comprehensive portfolio allocation that balances my concerns of risk aversion and returns that meet yearly inflation? I mean I've heard of people making up to $300k weeks during this crash and I'd like to know how.
I see steady growth over the next 1-2 years, with sporadic spikes in 2024-2025. It's safe to say by 2030 gold will be roughly around the $3,000 mark +- 10%. There are a number of factors that can influence gold prices post 2030. The $5,000+ mark is possible any time if there is a plague/world conflict/covid-2. My advice: maintain at least 30% as gold bricks in your portfolio and forget about it for the next 7-8 years.
Luckily I went to cash on August 16th so I caught almost all of the summer run up from June to August and had no downside in September. I am not sure that we don't have another 20% leg down. Just today I went and took all of my funds and bought a 119 day T-Bill @ 3.66% and I'll hopefully gain a little ground while this market continues to unravel. Will reassess where we are at at the end of January.
After the Prof kicks Powell's ass, he probably going after Druckenmiller next
Anybody who listens to Jeremy Siegel will be living in a cardboard box…..
Siegel lives in his sheltered little academic world and is Totally OUT OF TOUCH with REALITY……….
goat
this professor is right. great buying opportunity when main streeters outta be buying every dip going forward. a once in a lifetime fire sale of tesla and amazon stock not to mention a screaming rally with legs in big energy ie hess, diamondback, oxy and apache. i cannot stress the need to buy these by the basket full enough
Jeremy schools the whole freakin crowd of loser experts !!
In the list of youtube recommendations I see 10 of these economists each predicting different outcome of the market. Some of these broken clocks are going to be right but I am pretty sure they are no better than you and me in predicting future.
The problem is the same as the carter years. We need Regan like leadership to get us out of thos rat hole.
Interesting but you'll never see anyone on these shows to say "sell" and put money in short term money instruments even if it's the right thing to do. They want to prevent an inevitable panic and then they'll say the pending crash was do to panic rather than market forces.
This guy must take his advice from Jim Kramer. Market has another 20% downside before settling. All these commentators on this Chanel clearly pumper dumpers
Respectfully speaking the only means to earn wealth these days is by simply investing when and where necessary. Imagine I hadn’t started my investments with mr John darry no wonder where I would’ve been but altogether my point is invest your way up not save your way up
Constant crashing of the crypto and digital assets market makes it so much easier for investors to win and also lose depending on who’s on the receiving end. That’s why there’s a need for a well nurtured approach to the field and only trained professionals like John can be a go to person in every trend of the market with good profits guaranteed in return
My spouse and I are adding a variety of stocks/ETF to my present holdings for the long term, We've set aside $250k to start following inflation-indexed bonds and stocks of companies with solid cash flows, I believe it is a good time to capitalize on the market for long-term gains, but it wouldn't hurt to know means of actualizing short term profit.
buying and not using causes recession it means you are buying whatever it might be and hoarding it in wait for market to swing back again, this is what has been happening till now to create volatile swings false hyperinflations when you buy maybe entire town ship of housing and let only highest price rent or further selling it when markets are normal one company or individual with vault lying unused is capable of doing it, but who has to check it? unless regulations law strict ones with hefty fines, are not passed it shall keep on happening almost all big cities worldwide are in grip of this modus operandi done by vultures making monies on others helpless ness, tell me in swanky areas with high rents swanky stores restaurants exclusive markets, boutiques, pharmacies, food stalls, schools teachers, etc.. customer care staff how much wages do they make? do they all live in those swanky areas? no. not at all , so whichever part of town they live which can afford them roof with wages or even in being helpless paying so much rent form those cut also in taxes wage or instalments on houses, they have to be there is no way those business can run without them, and these inflation creators assholes do not care intent on their profits, yet all of this labor in every big small city is needed and their cycle of misery and nothing in their hand gets a relief.
The guy is super old and very money hungry. He is counting that trump is coming back
This money manager is very sick guy. His opinions are goes to the toilet
Buy now before Russia drop the bomb on Ukraine. Stupid billionaire wants his portfolio go up
I guess he needs to offload some of the stock
He is correct , you are way better off owning commodities and equities , than holding cash or bonds. People buying these long term bonds are going to be wrecked , they are placing their financial future in the hands of a print and spend entitlement bailout state that is trapped under 31 trillion dollars in debt , and has no way out of it other than to lower interest and print more money , until that finally collapses the dollar completely. Powell is full of hot air , and rates are going back down soon enough because this debt isn't going away , its only getting bigger , and its politically impossible to cut entitlements or military spending. Bond buyers are idiots , to trust this government and this citizenry to actually believe they will be financially responsible and see a long term real return on their money. Bond buyers are getting suckered here , and we are seeing a fake money central planning system in the beginning of its death throws. How long do people think a dollar that's value is determined by an ex goldman sachs attorney who sits in a room and arbitrarily decides what interest rates are going to be , and a money printer controlled by politicians that have zero checks and balances other than financially uneducated voters is going to last. Tick tock.
Despite the economic downturn, I'm happy ☺️. I have been earning $60,200 returns from my $10,000 investment every 13 days
very very confused or are trying to create their own narrative
I like Jeremy Siegel very experienced and knowledgeable investment advice. However i have been buying only high quality stocks since the "Bear Market" and will continue to do so until the federal reserve target interest rate is met.
