Is there any point in being long stocks or should we just time the market?


I've got $2000 in msft, similar in aapl and similar in googl.

I believe in these companies long term, but I'm wondering why I should hold them long instead of timing them?

I'm in aapl at cost basis 129

I'm in googl at basis 106.

So if either drop 50% in the coming months I'll “lose” $1000 per stock.

Why shouldn't I just sell both now and wait for sp500 to go to 3200 or less and THEN start buying them?

I always liked the idea of being long goof companies but now even Cramer last night said its better to “take profit” and basically time the market.

I'm 40% cash but why shouldn't I just go 100% cash and then wait for sp500 3000 and then ride it up to 4000 or so and rinse and repeat?

I realize things aren't this easy but the consensus seems to be that the sp500 is going to 3200 to 3000 in the upcoming months.

Heck maybe I should just trade the market and the heck with being long anything!?

P.s. I'm currently down 26% from ath in November 2021 and am 40% cash.

Or maybe I could just hold my longs and trade the 40%??

Anyone else 100% cash looking to get rich in a crash to 3000?

Good luck all and Merry holidays
Let's make some money this year!!
