[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn’t read whole thread, but I put about 30% into G when Trump started his madness back in 2035.  Only regret is that I didn’t put more there.  I truly think he is hellbent on ruining this country.  He knows he is hated and this is his middle finger to us.[/quote]

What a bad decision.  Hopefully you are near retirement, otherwise that is likely a very costly mistake.[/quote]

Preserving capital until there is more clarity on world events is never a mistake. [/quote]

This is market timing.  Of course it is a mistake.[/quote]

What you call market timing, I call reducing risk. I don't care to go down with the ship 20, 30, 50%. I can easily get back in once things resolve. [/quote]

It’s just as likely or more likely to go up 20, 30, 50 percent in the next year.  Point is you don’t know. You can’t time it.  [/quote]

Time in market > timing the market. They'll get the lesson when they're hesitant to jump back in and miss plenty of gains. Or they'll time this perfectly and get an inflated sense of importance and completely miss the next big move when they mistime it.[/quote]

You don't even understand what you own. You have been spoiled from the fantastic run since 2008. These type of returns are atypical and I do not believe they can continue indefinitely. There have been periods of time where stocks went nowhere for 10+ years. The last one was the early 2000's. I believe we are entering another one of these phases. Why on earth would I put my money in something that I believe is overvalued? It's not "timing the market". It's common sense. There will be a better time and place to invest my money. [/quote]

You don’t know anything and neither do I.  It’s why I don’t time the market - I dollar cost average into the market to take advantage down periods.  You’re strategy is not smart because you dont know when that better time and place will be.  My strategy doesn’t require a “better time and place.”[/quote]
