Padley: The problem with buy and hold

Padley: The problem with buy and hold

Guest: Marcus Padley, Director, Marcus Today.
Popular wisdom from the likes of Warren Buffett, Jack Bogle, and Burton Malkiel (author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street) states that it’s near-impossible to consistently time the market, so why even try? Just buy and hold for the long term, and collect your dividend cheque every six months. Marcus Padley, Director of MarcusToday, disagrees.
“You can’t just sit in the market long-term, which is what everybody wants you to do. You have to time it.”
Marcus points out, that the average annual capital return over the last 75 years, after inflation, taxes, and costs is close to zero. In this week’s episode of The Rules of Investing, he explains his process for getting the timing right, why he thinks the housing market is close to the bottom, and his top candidates to surprise to the upside this reporting season.
