Time in the market for me
Timing the market usually refers to shorter investment periods, whereas staying invested for the long term is referred to as time in the market. It's not about timing the market, but about staying invested in a well-diversified portfolio over time, as those who stay invested in a well-diversified portfolio outperform those who try to profit from market turning points. Nobody can predict a stock's future price, market timing is ineffective, and time in the market is the best strategy for me.

bullrider_21 : Many people who say you can't time the market are FA people. During the financial crises (now, Dot-Com Bust, 2008 Recession, etc), many stocks dropped 50%- >90%. Some have even went bankrupt. Should you continue to hold stocks if the prices keep dropping or are you better off getting out? Time in the money is fine if there's a bull run, but it can't last forever.
cola1010OP bullrider_21: Thank you for your insight, I agree with your points. Normally, I look for a reputable and trustworthy company to invest in. I am more of an investor, so I will hold for the long term. If intended for traders, timing the market may be beneficial.
