Avoiding Timing Securities When Buying and Selling

                                     

Again: Buying, selling or holding securities evaluations are not simple to make. They’re often the basis of media who fill space. And the media invariably get explanations wrong.

                       

I repeat: The strategy an investor should use will depend on the original investment intent when the securities are purchased. What is the

purpose of the purchase? What is the reasoning in terms of investor age, goals, risk accommodation, and psychology?

                       

And, most importantly, the extent of discipline the investor has decided to employ to keep to that strategy. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewHole tweets.)
