Timing is very difficult and you will not always be correct. With a little common sense you can beat the markets. Simply sell some mutual funds (I don’t recommend anyone buy stocks) when the market is reaching 3 months highs and buy back a similar fund when the market is lower. If you can buy things back 5% less than you sold them you are getting a good deal. I never do this with more than 10% of my assets with the exception of Feb. 2000 where I went 100% cash. I bought it all back just before the election in 2000 which was two years too soon but I was still way ahead. I must disagree that timing does not work.
