After speaking to a huge number of DIY investors over the past 15 years, we’ve learned that many feel reasonably comfortable selecting which funds to invest in but have problems knowing when to buy and when to exit. We’ve also found that most investors become uncertain about whether to hold on to their fund once they’ve bought it, especially if it drops in price just after they’ve purchased it.
