Book Reviews of Yes, You Can Time the Market!
Book Review: No you cant !
Summary: 2 Stars
A good primer on analysis, moving averages, and cheap vs. expensive. There is a major hole in this book: When is it time to sell? You will find no analysis. Ben and Phil only make the case for when to enter a position in a S&P500 index fund, and when to avoid adding to the position. When the indicator suggests stocks are high, buy t-bills until the indicator changes.
If you use one of the timing indicators to put money in, what about taking it out, thereby avoiding a "reversion to the mean"? If you are only timing an entry and not an exit, you aren't timing... So in my opinion, NO you can't time the market (not by reading this book).
