Trying to time the market is not the same as timing your actions. For instance, rebalancing allocations or, as I previously stated, intentionally trimming some profits to intentionally build a cash position to wait for (not predict) a market correction. Nobody should complain about selling at a profit. The bulls and bears make money and the hogs get slaughtered. Also, it is not about how much you make; it is about how much you keep.
