Snider Advisors Releases New Article and Video Comparing the Hype to the Reality of Market Timing

Aug. 4, 2009 - PRLog -- As economic uncertainty takes its toll, investors become increasingly dissatisfied with the status quo of investment advice.  80% of investors with assets of over $500,000 admit to being disgusted with their advisor.  It should be no surprise then that the seductive lure of market timing is taking control of many investors. In fact, close to half a million people have fallen for the outrageous promises of sure-fire strategies to generate enormous profits made by one provider of market timing investment courses.  With that in mind, Snider Advisors releases a new article, “The Great Market Timing Lie,” and an accompanying video, “Breaking the Crystal Ball: The Truth about Market Timing” to increase investor education.  Kim Snider, president and CEO of Snider Advisors, authored the article and is featured in the video.   Snider explains the need for the article and video, “Investors must be aware of the enormous difference between the actual data regarding market timing and the sales pitches being used to sell this concept to investors. “  Snider adds, “Both logic and evidence tell us it’s impossible to time the market over long periods with any consistency, but too many of those offering investment advice claim they can do the impossible.“

These latest pieces of investor education offer an in-depth analysis of academic research into the area of market timing, an evaluation of the differences between academic findings and sales tactics, and an engaging balance of opinion with factual information. Additionally, they examine the reasons why so many investors still find it market timing so appealing even though the data proves trying to time the market actually does more harm than good.  The article and video are cleverly executed and riddled with Snider’s unique ability to simplify the complexities of investing.   All investors, regardless of portfolio size or experience level, will gain insight and perspective.

The article is featured on several e-zine sites and can be found in the Free Investor Resources section of http://www.kimsnider.com/KimSnider/Web/Home/Default.aspx.   KimSnider.com provides numerous tools and investment courses designed to help individual investors increase their competency through investor education. The video is available exclusively on Kim Snider’s YouTube.com channel.
