Who ever knows what the market will do and when? Quite a few of us do. Not all the time, but consistently enough to be paid big bucks for the investment advice. If your position is that it is impossible to guess "what the market will do and when", then you must think all investors (including all of us here) to be lunatics playing dice with their money. And those of us doing this for a living must be orchestrating a sham :-) it's simply being a trader--what is the problem with that? Nothing wrong with being a "trader". However, your dilemma presents itself here again - To make money, even traders need to guess which way their chosen investment is likely to go (up or down).
