Don't Try to Time the Stock Market

Everyone thinks they can do it, but it is a proven fact that no one can time the stock market.  If you don't believe us, just watch CNBC for a few hours. You'll see one analyst saying stocks are going up and another one saying they will be going down.  Opinions vary but the market is made up of so much information and unknown future events that no one knows when it is going up.  With that being said, there is nothing wrong with taking money off the table when valuations are high, but don't use your whole portfolio to do it.  Only use a small percent.
