timing the market vs time in the market, can't be won

I think the best strategy is to have a split in your portfolio depending on how you want it to grow. You can have a portion which you would have in long-term assets or individual stocks. And you can have another portion which you dedicate to stocks that you expect quicker moves out of.

The quicker moves don't necessarily have to be larger moves. Day trading strategy is that if you get 1% a day your money will triple in a year. but on riskier strategies you also would be wise to use a lower percentage of your assets.

for me I would most likely pursue 70% long-term 30% active. and this is not financial advice
