Most Stock-Market-Timing Newsletters Fail, Comprehensive Study Shows

FYI: Every investor dreams of finding nirvana.

The vision is a simple system that keeps you in equities during bull markets but switches you into cash during crashes. This dream is called market timing. Now a new study by my fellow MarketWatch columnist Mark Hulbert shows it ain’t easy.

Hulbert edited the Hulbert Financial Digest (HFD) for 36 years until it ceased publication in 2016. The digest subscribed to hundreds of financial-advisory newsletters and tracked how much money you would have made (or lost) by following each service’s stock-picking advice on the day you received the information.
