| 0:02.9 | Welcome to the Millennial Investing Podcast. |
| 0:05.6 | I'm your host, Rebecca Hotsko, and today is another release of our mini episode series |
| 0:10.6 | that we send out every Saturday where I dive into a specific topic to help you become a better |
| 0:15.8 | investor. |
| 0:17.0 | So, in today's episode, I wanted to discuss the topic of market timing and why trying to time the market is not an effective strategy for long-term investors. |
