Buy and Hold vs Market Timing

[GeorgeF]

1) Market timing means your are trying to outsmart people who are trying to outsmart you. Why do you think you are smarter than me, Warren Buffett, 2+2 posters, ect for instance.

2) Buy and Hold has an advantage that the little guy who has a steady income can sustain more pain and outlast a pro who has 10:1 leverage and clients that will bolt at any downturn.

3) Not a great example but compare slots vs poker. If you can outsmart other people choose poker, else you will lose alot less with slots. If you can outsmart people chose maret timing otherwise go with buy and hold.
