the reason you want to timing the market is to maximize your return. Well, you can maximize your return with a fixed shares at the lowest price of certain wave , if you are lucky enough to catch the bottom, or you can maximize your volume at a certain range of low price , i.e just buy from time to time from $80 to $85 , and just keep buying . Or you can just buy any time you can and forget the timing, once you accumulate enough shares and price climb to its previous high , you maximize your profit, or one year later when the price hit $150 after split, you will find that the current price is really low. So, why bother timing the market ??
