>You can't time the market, just invest every month

[Anonymous No.12212649]

Yet there are thousands of traders and funds making money timing the market.

Either the boomer investors are wrong or the fund managers are wrong. Both can't be right at the same time, and since traders get payed to make money by trading.... well

50% of active fund managers can't beat the market long term, so it is unironically a bit of both.

A very tiny percentage of traders and even hedge funds beat index funds in the long term. Only a handful on earth. If you think you're a top 1% genius trader then go for it but history shows you will more than likely get rekt.

Fund managers can’t beat the market because of the dollar volumes they’re dealing with.

Individual investors can and do beat the average market returns, if they know what they’re doing. But most don’t.

since hedge funds doesn't exist to "beat the market" but to hedge capital preservations on downturns I fail to see your point sir.

it's not even that you'll get rekt, realistically speaking if you're making money trading, 99% of the time you're going to lose out on opportunity cost had you just held for 2 years. Active trading only works if you have large enough capital to begin with and every +5% trade constitutes for like, a $2000 gain or something.

The strategy used by 99.9% of trust funds is just "if it's higher than it was year ago, then buy, if it's not, then sell".

You can get into the intricacies of trading is you want, but nobody really cares, even the pros.
