The one guarantee is that any stock I buy will drop a couple points lower the next day after I try to time the bottom . This is why I don't have the stomach for day trading. When times are bad, I buy. When times are good, I hold and wait for the next big dip to buy more.
After reading Eugene Fama and Bogle's book and one other whose name I forget, I became more and more convinced that investing a lot in individual stocks was problematic without inside information, and trying to time them even worse. I ignored my own advice not that long ago because I loved NVDA but geez it's been a disaster, and I don't want to keep buying the dip.
