I see it as (way too many uneducated people in the markets). I constantly search stocks and stock advice web pages. I look and listen to what people are actually saying . What I have found is many many people asking things like, You think its a good time to get back in banks right now? When the questions should be, Is this company sound? Do they have a sound business structure ? Do they have sound(intelligent) leaders? Do they have a product or service people want and or need? These are only a few questions they should be asking,but all I hear is, you think its time to get back in this beat up stock?

The problem is that the studies on market timing show that no one can do it successfully long term. I wonder how many of the current investors will successfully time their sale of that gold fund and keep those high returns. -Rick Francis I will grant you that it is ironic- it is VERY tempting to try to time the market so a lot of people are going to try.
