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 recommends that people invest in commodities, hard assets, and cash for the time being.
