Market Timing is the act of moving investment money in or out of a financial market—or switching funds between asset classes—based on predictive methods. If investors can predict when the market will go up and down, they can make trades to turn that market move into a profit.However, many experts believe that trying to time the market is a fool’s errand. They argue that it’s impossible to consistently predict which way the markets will move, and even if you are right some of the times, the fees associated with making those trades can eat into your profits.So, what should you do? If you ask me, I say just stay invested for the long haul. Over time, history has shown that markets tend to go up more than they go down. So as long as you don’t get too caught up in trying to time every little market movement, you should be fine.
