US equity markets are at record levels. Lately there have been many articles in the media discussing if the market has reached its peak and a crash is on the horizon soon. With stocks at peak some investors may be wondering what if I invest now and market crashes soon after. Recently I cam e across an excellent video posted by Ben Carlson of A Wealth of Common Sense blog that explained how an unlucky investor invested at market tops and still came out ahead. You can checkout that video below:

While Ben’s video is about US stocks, a blogger at Rankia expanded the idea and calculated the returns for major global markets. You can find that article here (in Spanish – So use Google Translate)
