Hulbert Says Newsletter Authors Aren't Good Market Timers

edited August 2014 in Fund Discussions
"It is hard to decide when the stock market has peaked and it is time to get out. It may be even harder to know when the damage is over and it is time to get back in.

But pulling off both in succession is exceedingly rare."

  • @tigerman3: You have to get up very very early to best the linkster. As Hulbert points out, its very easy to get out of the market, but much harder knowing when to get back in.

  • "You have to get up very very early to best the linkster"

    Perhaps, Ted, but I hope you won't stop trying
  • @Bitzer: So far how do you like the new gentler and kinder linkster ?
    Regards,
    Ted

    @Ted Copyright infringement issues (which I'm not qualified to opine on) aside, I much preferred the "old" Ted (the one who said he would name me in his will). Many of the "he hurt my feelings" comments on this board are just plain silly.

    I will say, however, that if you leave this board again voluntarily, I will be very disappointed. No room for drama here. Let's leave it for the tween girls.

    Well, you asked and there you have it. I believe I was once indirectly called a "Ted butt kisser" on this board. "Butt kisser" no, loyal reader, yes
  • I too value Ted's posts. This site would be poorer without him.
  • And sorry about the dupe link, Ted:)
