When to buy and sell?

Posted on June 10th, 2007 in Random Stuff by Warren

As a passive investor, its always hard to tell when its time to buy or sell.  I don’t have time to watch the market like a hawk nor the access to insights the pro’s have.  Even with that insight, lot’s of pros still suck..  So how does an average investor know when to buy or sell?  One approach is to follow what the insiders do.  This idea is not new, people often suggest doing it, but I am not sure how many of them actually follow this investing strategy. InsiderCow provides a service that allows you to keep track of what the insiders of the company are doing with their shares in real time.  Maybe it’s time to test this idea?
