Summary

Tune in to this week's episode of The Money Guy Show as we discuss the sport of timing the market and what investors need to keep in mind. While we may enjoy speculating about what could happen, it's important to remember that no one can predict the future and that includes the financial future. Find out just how harmful it can be to investors when investment advisors and media personalities peddle predictions. Learn why your investment decisions should instead be based on your individual circumstance, risk management, as well as on valuations of asset classes and companies.

0:26.0	Please go check us out. Money guy.com. That way you can connect with us on YouTube,
0:31.5	Twitter, Facebook, all the other channels we have for social media. This one, Bo, I feel like
0:37.9	really is going to be helpful to the public. I can't get out of my mind right now. The fact that
0:42.9	you just told everybody you were doing money years and served. I listened to iTunes and Stitcher
0:47.1	and IHR radio. They couldn't see the money years. But now, if you're listening to this and you
0:52.8	haven't watched, go check out our YouTube channel. A lot of fun stuff out there. I'm excited about
0:57.0	this one. I feel like we need to preface this because I think it's like a public service. This is
1:01.7	the official money guy show public service announcement. The inspiration for today's show kind of comes

1:19.6	I want to give you some perspective. Barons at the end of 2016 asked all the financial analysts
1:25.6	out there. Give us your best prediction for how you think 2017 will turn out because as we remember,
1:32.4	just kind of jumping back into the time machine, trying to figure out what we think the T-Leaves
1:36.9	will bring forward. In 2016, we had just elected a brand new president. The election, let's say,
