Balls?

I don't understand. The simplest tenant is "buy low, sell high". Most stocks are low, way low now. No need to time the bottom. Buy and hold. Buy quality companies whose business/products you personally understand.

If you already have stock, it's a nobrainer perfect time to buy more of the same. Dollar cost averaging.

Bought a stock at $20, now it's at $15? buy another. Your cost is now $17.50. Stock has to go up half as far for you to be making return.

Yes yes, buy and hold, blah blah. But you're missing the sell part. Monday was when I should've sold high, but I don't want to mistime the bottom, so I do the lazy investor's approach and leave my stocks alone until a bottom has been established and I start buying back in.

It's been tough. I've been trading in this market and I've caught a couple pretty good moves.

Trying to accurately time the market isn't ballsy, it's stupid. It's the modern day alchemy.

Well I've been stupidly printing money in this market.
