Roger Ibbotson advises against market timing, stating that it's difficult for people to predict whether a crash will continue or a boom will sustain. He suggests that consistently riding the market through its ups and downs is a more reliable strategy for long-term success.
“If you look at buying after the bubble or buying after a crash, it's not too clear how you're going to do.”
“You don't know if the crash is going to continue or have the big rebound, and you don't know if the boom is going to continue or have the crash following it.”
“I mean, people have great difficulty in timing the market.”
