Market timing
Market timing is the strategy of making buy or sell decisions of financial assets (often
stocks) by attempting to predict future market price movements. The prediction may be based on an outlook of market or economic conditions resulting from
technical or
fundamental analysis. This is an
investment strategy based on the outlook for an aggregate market, rather than for a particular financial asset.
