Nothing lasts forever, that includes bull or bear markets.
Timing the market, to me is everything, is about riding bull markets, recognising when they’ve ended and riding bear markets down until they’ve ended.
That broad-based timing has helped many inves¬tors and traders to create wealth. And you are not alone in this game of timing market and trades.
The most successful traders and investors in his¬tory time the markets, like I do, not like clockwork.
The run we’re in being the second longest bull market in history of our market which is good and nobody knows when it will end, everyone knows that.
But, all that have tried to predict its end have ob¬viously been wrong.
There are lots of studies that say investors can’t time the market, meaning you can’t be a successful investor if you jump in and out of the market every time you think it’s turning down or up again.
While I generally agree with that, only because making a move every time fear or greed grips or grabs us is a fool’s game, the truth is quite different.
So, here’s how to tell if this bull market’s ending, when it has actually ended, and most importantly what to do to protect your profits and make a fortune when the bear sinks its teeth into us.
And yes, you can include Warren Buffett in the list of successful billionaire market timers, along with George Soros, Carl Icahn, Steve Cohen, David Tepper, Michael Steinhardt, Paul Tudor Jones, Sir John Templeton, the list goes on.
If you don’t know Warren Buffet times markets and trades, then you don’t know what you don’t know about Buffett and market timing.
Investment timing is about years and months and at certain junctures, sometimes weeks. Think of good timing in terms of a calendar.
Timing in terms of days and weeks is for traders. Think of that kind of timing like clockwork. Not that there isn’t a ton of money to be made trading short term, there is, and I’ve done that for decades.
It’s just not for everyone. That’s because most peo¬ple don’t have the time to trade for a living like I do and all the other successful traders who make mil-lions every year trading.
Smart investors make extraordinary gains in bull markets because bull markets can last a long time.
The current bull market we’re enjoying officially started April, 2020.
I must admit, I didn’t call the beginning of this bull market on that date.
No one did. We were still reeling from the COVID 19 crisis and the market looked like it was in Hades.
Market sentiment is also important when reading market direction and volatility in any cycle.
