Should I continue to invest in stocks for retirement in this economy?

Buy low (now) and sell high (years later)

If you are fiscally healthy, then invest money you will not need in the next few years. Now is a good time to buy certain stocks at a great value; it just depends on your financial situation and when you will retire. Just a note also even if a stock price is low it may not be worth it, just as a high priced stock may be overvalued.

Most believe the low now, but there might be little time before gaining again from the typical flat or single digit growth for certain stocks. But it's wiser to invest reasonable amount in stocks to gain.
