Timing the market is impossibl

Timing the market is impossible and hence we need to understand what we are after (e.g. highest return at the YOLO instant, sufficient return to fund your objective, etc) before marking a decision. Sell in May and come back later sounds fantastic in hindsight but if we are always affected by emotions of a sell down, exiting the market and await to re board, then the heating buy finger may cause us to miss the 10 best days of a rocket run.

S&P 500 Concludes Best Month! Shall We Sell In May?

April's final session: $S&P 500(.SPX)$ closed at all-time highs (+1%), $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ +0.89%. Full month: S&P 500 +10.4%, Nasdaq +14.8% — the strongest single-month return since the post-COVID rebound in 2020. Based on historical data, if multiple new highs are reached in April, the subsequent market performance is usually relatively strong. Will the bull run continue into may? Do you chase the new high or wait for a pullback? Which sector do you think catches up?
