Summary: I’m often asked questions like: “Should I be timing the stock market? Should I buy on the lows and sell on the highs? Are there key market timing signals that I can study to be a successful investor?” Should you experience an inheritance or windfall, sell a piece of property or win the lottery, there are several strategies to consider when investing those funds. With these considerations it is important to remain defensive, protect capital and reduce market timing risk as much as possible.
