🌟 The Power of Time in the Market vs. Timing the Market 🌟 As a Financial Planner, I’ve seen first-hand the difference between those who try to time the market and those who understand the value of time in the market! 📈 🔍 Why is this important? 1. Market Volatility: Markets are inherently unpredictable in the short term. Trying to time the market often leads to missed opportunities and increased stress. 2. Compound Growth: The magic of compounding works best over long periods. Staying invested allows your money to grow exponentially. 3. Historical Trends: Historically, markets have trended upwards over the long term. By staying invested, you benefit from this overall growth. 4. Reduced Emotional Decisions: A long-term perspective helps you avoid making impulsive decisions based on short-term market fluctuations. 5. Peace of Mind: Knowing you have a solid, long-term plan can provide peace of mind, allowing you to focus on other important aspects of life. Remember, it’s not about timing the market, but about time in the market. Stay patient, stay invested, and let time work its magic. 🌟 #FinancialAdvice #Investing #LongTermGrowth #CompoundInterest #MarketTrends #FinancialPlanning

In the CTA strategy, momentum/ trend-following is the best. Don’t be opposite to be the trend. Don’t over believe in the so-called macro and so-called fundamentals analysis.

This is a great read on financial news/budget updates this week: “No doubt the BoC will not give my prediction much consideration at its June 5th policy meeting, but it will apply significant weight to the next CPI update on May 21st. As you can see in the table above, the overnight index swap market is currently putting a 65% probability of a cut at that meeting.” https://lnkd.in/eEv5QJzx?
