[QUOTE="truespode, post: 489417, member: 29329"] Just for thought look at a $1000 investment in September 1982 in a S&P Index fund. As of September 2002 it would be worth $11,923. That is a 13.19% return on investment over 20 years (and that is after a downturn). I personally believe that there is NOT a better long term investment strategy than equity investments. Diversify, plan and put your time in and you will make money on your investment. Only fools (in my opinion) try to time the market. It is the time [b]IN[/b] the market that gives you the best returns. Look at it like this... for that same $1000 if you tried timing the market over the same period of time you would have a return like the following: If you mis timed and missed the top [b]5[/b] days: Investment would yield $8,852 (11.51%) If you missed the top 15 days you would get $5,749 (9.13%). If you missed the top 25 days you would get $4,014 (7.19%). I believe you should not try to [i]play[/i] the market. You should invest in the market and be diversified and patient.
