"Do you know one great market timer who could prove it over a five year period?"

Yes, I do. Why do you find it so hard to belive that the market can be timed? Is is because so many "experts" advise against timing?

Buy and hold is a great strategy for most people who want to be in the market. But this does not mean that some of us cannot profit greatly from timing the market.

I doubt that, in the long run, they [market timers] can do better then an old grannie using a buy and hold strategy in the high tech sector.

So, why are you on SI? Are you using granny's strategy? If so, why bother surf stock threads on the internet?

Or do you trade, but just accept that you will underperform the S&P?

In other words, what is your point?
