Sven Carlin, author at Seeking Alpha, discusses the market volatility we've seen over the last several weeks and whether now is a good time to buy.
Carlin says that any investments should be looked at from a risk/reward perspective, adding that there is too much risk right now to buy. He discusses comments from American investor Ray Dalio who said that there is a 70% chance of a recession in the next two years.
