Stock Timing Game

Post by sgtnichols »

Prudential set up a game to dissuade folks from timing the market. I lost to the market most if the time. Granted, technical charts are not shown and the game is paced faster than it should be.

So how did you do?

It only proves that you can't watch price alone. Having statistics based charts, e.g. Bollinger bands, would be helpful.

That is pretty interesting. Not easy at all. makes you really think about trying to time the market at all. Although with a seasonal strategy utilizing several different funds it's not really as simple as being "in" or "out". Only time will tell if our future gains will be simto past results with the seasonal I suppose. I am willing to give it a shot at this point in my life.

Very interesting, but nerve-wracking. Glad I didn't lose actual money.
