Hi everyone, thank you for coming back to my blog. I hope you found my last blog interesting and useful, where I covered \u2018An Important Introduction To Shareholder Advocacy\u2019.In this blog, I\u2019m going to cover why attempting to time the market is a bad idea and what potential returns you could lose out on if you do stick to a short-term investing strategy instead of a long-term one.It\u2019s every investor\u2019s dream to time the market. Ph.D.\u2019s in finance and mathematics toil away at market simulations. However, no one has ever developed a system of timing the market that proved to be successful. The variables involved are too complex, and the impact of human-driven factors is too high.Avoid listening to the financial pundits that claim today is a great day or a bad day to get into or out of the market. If they were consistently correct, they wouldn\u2019t bother telling you. Instead, they\u2019d be off adding to their billions.Consider these reasons, why not to time the market next time you are thinking of doing so:There are plenty of wealthy investors, but few of them got that way by predicting short-term changes in the market.\u00b7 There are wealthy investors that became wealthy by taking long-term positions.\u00b7 Hedge fund managers and mutual fund managers are wealthy, but they get paid whether they perform well or not.\u00b7 A few short-term investors have made it big, but they lose money more frequently than they make money (a few big gains can offset multiple losses, it\u2019s a gamble).\u00b7 In short, no one has consistently done well timing the market, and you\u2019re unlikely to be the first.When most people try to time the market, they get out too soon. Eventually, the market falls, but then they wait too long to get back in. You also face\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
