Why Eric Fry is Buying

Friday, 21 October 2022, 06:48:40
Ignoring market timing… why certain stocks become more attractive… buying into an “inevitable” trend with Eric Fry… Luke Lango’s “Divergence” stocks Let me be clear on one point: I can’t predict the short-term movements of the stock market. I haven’t the faintest idea as to whether stocks will be higher or lower a month — or a year — from now. What is likely, however, is that the market will move higher, perhaps substantially so, well before either sentiment or the economy turns up. So, if you wait for the robins, spring will be over. That comes from one of the most successful investors of all time, Warren Buffett. The idea closely relates to a point we make often in the Digest – trying to time the market so that you don’t buy until prices have bottomed-out is a fool’s errand. By definition, a bottom can’t become the bottom until you’re looking at it in the rearview mirror from a higher price. Given this, we believe the wiser approach is to ask: “Is today’s price one at which I’m likely to make great returns, say, three years from today?” If the answer is “yes,” then buying is a good idea, even if prices head lower.
