Market Timing Investment Newsletters

When 32 market-timing newsletters were compared to the S&P 500 Index over a 10-year period, not one of them bested the broad market index. The primary reason for this inability to time the market is the high concentration of returns and losses that occur each year in just a few days.

Yep, 2008 has been a year where my net worth has taken a pretty severe beating. Speaking about Bonds… Fortunately and unfortunately for me, I had only just started to construct a bond ladder this year. The fortunate side is that I had about 35% of my portfolio in cash while trying to buy fixed income products of varying maturities – at precisely the time when the bottom fell out of the equities market. The unfortunate side of this is that everything that I’ve been buying in fixed income (only GICs & Government of Canada Bonds) has been trading at a disappointingly low ... Read More

MARKET TIMING INVESTMENT NEWSLETTERS
It is the compulsive desire to try to make sense out of just about everything. Even events that are not predictable. Like the direction of the stock market or the future price of a particular stock or mutual fund. This addiction is a particularly bad one. Not only are our brains hard-wired to believe we can predict the future and make sense out of random acts, it rewards us for doing so. The brain of someone engaged in this activity experiences the same kind of pleasure that drug addicts get from cocaine or gamblers experience when they enter a casino. When predicting the unpredictable goes south, as it inevitably will, the ...

the best interest of mutual fund shareholders.
The particular angle that I am researching is the extent to which
mutual fund market timing was an ...
