Forget Trying to Time the Market

Despite the media’s encouragement, with its constant reportage enticing its public with suggestions about timing the markets, repeated independent research has shown that market timing does not consistently work.

                       

Only luck and chance with regard to time of market entry plays a major role. On the other hand, allocation of assets and discipline of strategy are more important to investment success. Rather than anecdotal accounts of who accidentally struck it rich while buying and selling on personal whim.
