Market timing sometimes is a big theory that people respect. "Index funds and index instruments" play is very popular. You can put your large holding in money market funds; then before 4:00pm each day decide whether to put it in an index fund or put it back in the money market fund. If the index fund can go up 1% or more per day, you could make 36% average gain per year(some gains some losses). How to do it? The gamble is like playing roulette. You play black or red. Very dangerous? Yes. But on the market, you have technical analysis to help you cheat. Then there was the old rolling cycle of one day up two days down. But when the 401k money rolls in, S&P500 index is quite predictable; unless when the market broadens then watch out. If you do not have $500,000, forget it; this is an interest accumulation play. Stocks are better, because you may have a "300% gain" play per year on each stock.
