Can you beat the market ?

Question

No - 90% lose money

only 1% get rich

Reason Warren Buffett is a BIG DEAL

Answer 1

Yes you can. Warren Buffet hasnt generated the highest return, John Paulson made 2400% last year. But Buffet has generated his returns for decades.

To beat the markets all you have to do is buy the SPY whenever it dips real low, like its doing right now and keep holding it. Eventually it has always gone back up and you have put in your money at low prices, now just keep doing it and you should do well over time.

Answer 2

I was up 35% last year and i'm by no means rich.

Answer 3

No you can not beat the market. the market is always right

90% do not loose money, only immature liberals believe that.

Most successful traders are happy if they're right 60% of the time.  Most successful investors will make a yearly return of 25% on their invested capital, and many will make more

Warren Buffett is not a big deal, he made money but so did others, he also had as one advantage, the greatest bull market and he could never beat the market

Answer 4

90% of people in the market lose money?  What market are you investing in?  I'd get the h**l out of that market if I were you.

Answer 5

I was on a streak and beat the market for 4 years in a row last year I was even. So far this year I am losing to the market. I really don't think anyone can consistently beat the market.

I have been doing market timing by putting more in when I think the market has hit the bottom. My current bottom is 1250 for the S&P 500 when that hits I am going all in.
