Why Don’t Value Investors Time The Market? My Answer To Sebastian’s Question

In my network of friends / family / colleagues, I’m most often known as ‘The Investment Guy’.

Because of this, I’m often asked about the latest trend in investing, whether it be years ago, gold and silver, the Greek Crash a couple years ago, or more recently, weed stocks and cryptocurrency.

Today, I’m answering Sebastian’s question on one of our YouTube videos – why don’t value investors sell and then rebuy assets… Or in other words why don’t value investors time the market?

Some of what I talk about in the video…

• Why I never try to time the market
• Why I never try to time buying and selling stock in businesses
• Why I don’t estimate or forecast
• Why even the best investors in the world don’t time the market
• And more…

To illustrate how little I think of timing the market and people who say they’re great at timing the market here are some great quotes on market timing from world-class investors.

And another…
