If the buy low/sell high investing maxim is self-evident, why dont more investors do it? In 2007, corporate pension funds had close to 70% of their assets in stocks, yet at the bottom, bonds and cash accounted for more than half of the mix. As an investor, how can you avoid being part of the buy high/sell low crowd? Fundamentals are more important than themes. Some people can time the markets, but that probably doesnt apply. We prefer a simple, get rich slow strategy, which may be possible if you maintain a disciplined investment approach in concert with a reasonable set of expectations.
