Market timing a concept that has been excepted for decades as a strategy for managing different investments held in ones portfolio or overall of estate. The idea is that one can proactively stay ahead of the masses and determine what types of investments are best to own based on a current social, political, and economic climate. There’s no research that supports market timing….the idea of getting in and out of market sectors or asset classes. But it does have a certain allure of logic to the idea that certain patterns or trends in the market place can be taken advantage of by studious investors.
