And you still won't win, even if you are rich. The amount of money you've got is irrelevant. You're trying to time and untimeable market. The market has always beaten the "market timers" over the long term, hands down.

Not quite. If you have tons and tons of money, then you can afford to invest in the best analysts and trading programs, just like a major Wall Street firm does. However, edge you gain is pretty small which is why a truly big bankroll is required.

foshizzle,

the best analysts cannot forecast what the market will do. the best "trading programs" cannot forecast what the market will do.
And no, major Wall Street firms sell you on this crap about trading and market timing. They invest their money in smart investments - they are institutional investors who use funds like DFA funds and yes, Vanguard.

I suggest you read instead of guess in the future. You are very behind the curve when it comes to your understanding of investing. Invest your time into reading and learning. You're still believing that same old crap that allowed Wall Street to put their foot on our necks. Better get going.
