I will never buy a mutual fund again. ETF's are the way to go. Low cost, you can buy or sell them during the trading day, and the companies can't rip you off by trading with their best clients ahead of you.
I love to study the markets and try to determine when movements may be coming. But it is not that easy. Emotions get in the way of proper decisions. I like to take the emotions out of it, by using automated rules to try to be out of the market when it appears overbought.
