Yes and no. You might not have cash to spare (especially in such a volatile period). Also, investing more might exceed your exposure limit to a single stock/industry.



Sure you should have a diversified portfolio but everything is also on discount. Warren Buffet went on a buying spree. If you don't have cash to spare thinking about investing isn't what you should focus on but instead doing basic financial wellness like having a savings account. Also cash has been outperforming the market so far so cash isn't necessarily a bad investment.
