Generally you should buy stock just before the price plummets. That way you can most efficiently rid yourself of any money you have and walk the world as a shoeless nomad free from monetary burden.
Come back and thank me when you've reached enlightenment, I'll buy you a pair of sandals to celebrate
After a lifetime of searching for the truth...I think I finally see the light.
Thank you so much.
Anybody know when the best time to buy stock in? I've just started a new career and would like to learn more about investing.
You really set yourself up with that question. I will be kind and tell you the simple truth. " Buy low sell high". In other words on the next big worldwide stock market crash, buy as many shares of the best and strongest companies you can afford, and then wait for the recovery to happen. Simple.

Late 2003, January 2009, Oct 2011 all were great times to buy APPL. If you look at a ten year chart you will see that APPL does surge and pull back and I feel until they stop making great products and start missing quarters the stock is a viable investment.
On the other hand if you want to invest then you need to make your own decisions based on your understanding of markets and investing. Just buying a stock because someone on the internet says it is a good idea is foolish and irresponsible. So educate yourself and put the first 10k in an index fund until you understand the ramifications of your buying decisions.
In that education phase consider learning about options and in particular using "in the money" call options as a stock replacement for companies like APPL that while not overvalued have a high share price. This type of strategy when correctly implemented will limit downside risk and increase the upside potential.
With diligence and work you can invest in individual stocks, you can beat the averages, you can outperform many professionals, and you can build wealth that will last your lifetime and into the future for your heirs. Good luck and please do the work before buying any stock.
