I think if you can do it, then market timing could add a lot to your return but I don't think there is anyone who can time the market consistently over a long period of time. Mike Thanks for the comment.

I also read that market timing is related to less than 5% of your overall investment return. 5% of 10%, it definitely not that much! Market timing is like gambling at the casino or buy penny stock. You just hope you got in (or out) at the right time. In the end, nobody knows what's going to happen. However, my bet on the present market is that we will reach a plateau, but I'm not sure it is going to go down. China and Inda still need a lot of resources and Canada is just the right country to be right now! FB. You are right FP.
