Ken Fisher on Why It's So Hard to Successfully Time the Stock Market

Opinions vary as to whether trying to time the market is a good idea or a bad idea. According to Ken Fisher, it’s a great idea, if you can be consistently right—but that’s almost impossible. And most people who try to time the market fail.
Ken Fisher believes to time the market and consistently be right you need to know something important that others don’t. Most people just don’t have any information like that. Instead, they try to time the market using widely available information.
Capital markets, as Ken Fisher notes, do a great job of pricing in widely available information. Quite simply, that means that commonly available information is often already factored in to stock prices. Trying to time the market based off of this sort of information will fail more often than not. Fisher Investments believes if you don’t have information others don’t or interpret that information differently than others,then you shouldn’t try to time the market.
Fisher Investments suggests you consider market history when making investment decisions. In the long term, stocks have offered strong real returns, especially when compared to other liquid assets. Ken Fisher reiterates that those real returns include every bear market, every down day and every investor fear.
So, even if you don’t have special information that will let you time the market, you can still be a successful long-term investor.
