Market timing is one of the least
understood concepts involved in investing money. It’s time we identify and debunk
some of the myths about market timing. These myths seem to take on a life of their own
through repetition. But anybody interested in market timing deserves to know the truth,
and this seems like the perfect time for a refresher course.

Conventional wisdom says trying to time the stock
market is a fool’s game. And if you look at market timing very
narrowly, defining it as a discipline that nobody really practices, then
the conventional wisdom is right.

We’ve been managing money for clients since
1983, and the best way we have ever found to build a buy-and-hold portfolio is using

in academic research.

Perhaps the financial advice you are getting is free. It may be from reading Money, Smart Money or Kiplinger’s Personal Finance. It may be from watching television shows, attending a workshop or talking to someone you know who is experienced at investing. However, if you are led astray by the advice you get without paying, "free" could turn out to be very expensive.

Reliability is a concept that we typically appreciate more and more as we mature. Young people are typically attracted to things that provide lots of “flash and dash.” Those of us with more decades under our belts have been disappointed enough times that we no longer take so much for granted. Over the years, we acquire more appreciation for the things that don’t let us down.

I’ve been holding free workshops for investors for more than 20 years, and they’ve helped thousands of investors achieve higher returns and greater peace of mind while avoiding (or in some cases minimizing) the worst mistakes that so many people make.
In the fall of 2004 I launched a brand new workshop called “Investing After 50.”

Investors who are organized and have a clear understanding of what they’re trying to accomplish are far more likely to succeed than those who are casual about their money. One of the most effective ways to make investing easy and methodical is to develop a personal policy statement that answers basic questions and issues that come up repeatedly.
