I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

One says you can't time the Market. The other says yes, you can!

Who is right?

Can we time the Market?

Yes, you can time your own Market! Why not?

You alone determine the buy price that you are happy with and then wait for it to come to you. When it comes; you just buy it! Period.

You alone determine the sell price that you are happy with and then wait for it to come to you. When it comes; you just sell it! Period.

The whole problem is that people keep adjusting their buy and sell price according to how they perceive the market is doing? Then you can't time the market. Few people can. May be you are of those rare few who can.

    That is funny and simple argument, but I must admit it is true! You really time your own market.

    Hi,
    You can really time the market only if "you are rich in proportion to the things you can let alone".
    Adapted from this quotation:
    "A man is rich in proportion to the things he can let alone".
    NB:
    i have been learning how to improve my "Timing of the Market" since day one.
