The stock market is difficult to predict and the number of variables that can influence the price of any given stock will probably make your head spin. The level of complexity is massive. So, do you think you have what it takes to time the market? To know when it is on sale? Is it a good idea to put in additional funds when the market dips? Is it worth the risk? Today, on the Ask The Money Nerds segment of the Wealth Labs podcast, we discuss these questions so you can decide for yourself.
