And example is the recent market fluctuations after Brexit. If you went cash heavy after a couple of down days, you sold when the DOW was near 17200. You then missed the current run to 18300. So many panicked and sold lower and if you're wanting to get back into the market now, will buy high. I realize this isn't true for all sectors but just an example of trying to "time the market." I also am not looking for yearly income currently from any investments like my brokerage account. Doesn't mean with gains I won't sell some things at times, but I am not looking to make yearly moves for income. If I was, I may take more risk to "time the market," but currently that strategy is very risky IMO, or at least I am not comfortable with it. |

I have to share this even though I don't really want to but it's just toooo funny. I bought this penny stock about 3 years ago with a hope of good long term gains. So this company just didn't move up the whole time . in fact it decreased about 50% but I felt like it still had potential. Finally yesterday I had made up my mind I wasn't waiting any longer because I found a real winner I wanted to move that money into so I SOLD. TODAY that company announced a million dollar contract with the US military and the stock moved up 35 %. That's exactly the ****ing news I had been waiting on for the last year. If I had just waited one more ****ing day !

Then I have the stone yard. You buy in stone , double the price and sell it. It doesn't rot and it doesn't eat any feed so it's a nice little source also. |
