The Dangers of Timing the Market

Simplistic statements and study presentation graphs can never tell the full story, IMHO. There are many investing styles and within those style there are those prosper and those who fail.

At 68 years old and being a diabetic, I don't have the luxury of putting my money for 20 years anywhere! Therefore, I am a very frequent trader, consciously timing individual investments, both stocks and commodities.

All I want is to beat about 1.5 % a month i.e. price inflation and taxes. Might even get there this week if stocks rise enough.
