CDZ Why try to Time the Market?

[william the wie]

Serious question.

There are cheap guides to fundamental investing: AAII and Value Line being the best known.

There are simple disciplines that, if followed, have you buying low and selling high such as a lazy man portfolio.

There are many optionable stocks and ETFs to reduce the cost of getting in or out at your desired price using covered options.

At 10% down margin calls go out if you want to know where to place puts to safeguard against corrections and bear markets. so why try to time the market when you can beat it without working up a sweat?

A lot of people use 50% margin in their trades at 10% down they get sold out of their position.

They're trading at the wrong firms then.
A 30% maintenance requirement is pretty typical.
