>What that means is that every year capital gains taxes are paid on a timing portfolio effectively removing yield. Yes, but what if you are doing it in an IRA account?

Chuzz, timing the market does not work on a consistent basis over the long-term ... no one has a crystal ball. But from an investment prospective I found that doubling up on investment positions within the context of sector timing and market context significantly enhances returns. When the long-term perspective for a company remains robust, there is no need to liquidate the position ... so taxes are not a consideration. I'll forego comments on timing with respect to trading, to each their own. But I do sometimes trade in and out of stocks in my IRA account. No taxes to worry about and I use the IRS' share to take on the risk of trading the volatity. Just some thoughts, Chuzzy.
