Overview: In politics, Republicans typically have an awful time saying nice things about Democrats, and vice versa. When it comes to investing, many buy-and-hold investors think market timers are grossly misguided, and at the same time, many timers just cannot understand why buy-and-holders leave their portfolios exposed to potentially huge market risks. This article is for investors who choose strategies that are more rational and are committed to do their best to stick to them. This article discusses the keys to successful investing. Some of these are being a successful buy-and-hold investor, being a successful market timer, driving with the rear-view mirror, should one do both? Thus, successful investing is not easy, whether one time the market or buy and hold. Either way, they are taking a risk – actually a series of risks. If one allocates assets properly, those risks will be carefully chosen, carefully coordinated, and limited by diversification.
