RE:RE:RE:RE:Market timers..To each his own for sure. My adventures in market timing have almost always ended badly. The big exception was deciding to go all in to equities in 2009, specifically quality dividend payers. This basically set my investment strategy for the rest of my life - buy, hold, drip.
When my stocks rise in price, it feels good. When they go down, I look at the silver lining that I'm getting a better deal on the drip. Indeed, with my bank stocks, I'd actually prefer a lower SP because I feel I'm paying too much for my dripped stocks. In fact, I'm totally fine with the prospect of a correction (might actually add to some of my positions if is severe enough).
There may be ways to get better returns. Really, I'd only need a couple good market timing trades to boost my porfolio in significant ways But I'm getting a pretty good return overall and I have no problems sleeping at night.
