Involve Stock Market Timing

Much has been written about the virtues and dangers of active stock market trading, or market timing.

Most of the pundits and so called "experts" will tell you that stock market timing doesn't work, that it's deadly, and that "buy and hold" is the best and only way to invest.

But this traditional wisdom is obviously untrue. Here are the facts based totally on my research and intensive real time experience.

If you'd like to be a successful market timer, you need three key elements:

1. A system that works.

2. Discipline to follow the system.

3. Patience to stick with the system long enough to persuade it to work for you.

And it's difficult to do all three.

Here's why:

Most market timing systems do not work. Or do not work regularly enough to be valid. Some will work in trending markets but get slaughtered during flat times. Most systems don't work in all markets.

Speculators lack the wherewithal to follow a definite system. Once a backer finds a viable program, she wishes the discipline to follow it. Unfortunately , some either can?t or won?t do that. When they let their own judgment or intuitions interfere, they do not get the results which they want or might have enjoyed by following the sell and buy signals they receive.

Stockholders lack the patience to stick with their system. Many stockholders are continually looking for the Grail, a programme that never loses a trade. The fact is, no system will win every trade, and backers without patience will find themselves hopping from counsellor to advisor with no rewards to show for their efforts.

However , there are several trusted systems available that recognize these problems and successfully time the market to massive profits year after year. Anything you hear or read to the reverse is simply wrong. Wall Street has a vested interest in opposing stock market timing because it is a threat to their really existence.

Investors have two decisions. They can pursue the generally held position of buy and hold and wish for the best, or the modern financier can educate himself and find a timing system with which he's cosy to guard and grow his wealth. There are a number of proved options available, but the most deplorable thing one can do is listen to the experts who make it clear that stock market timing" doesn't work.
