Stock market timing helps to make balanced buy-sell decisions to create great investing returns.

Stock market timing helps me now already for over 8 years to capitalize on the long-term trends that you can see in stock market indices. This market timing system I developed in 2003 has enabled me to benefit from the bull market between 2004 and 2007, to avoid the financial crisis of 2008 and to ride again the trend up between 2009 and today.

The biggest loss I ever made on a single investment was the investment in the stock of a company that I knew best. This is a great lesson for beginners who want to start investing. It was in 2000 and I bought shares in the company that I was working for. I know that company inside out. I know its industry. I know the competitors. It was and is the dominant global market leader in its market. And still I lost more than 60% of my investments in that company.

Yesterday, I saw on Bloomberg TV one of the anchors mentioning that Nokia share price was down something like 65% of its high just over 3 years ago. That gave me a shock. 

Buy and hold of even great companies carries great risks
