My philosophy of advice is that by far the most important factor determining the long-term investment returns people get in real life is their own behavior. So, for example, the issue for me isn't predicting when markets will peak or bottom out - which no on can consistently do - but managing the way my clients respond to those periods of euphoria near market tops, and to the panic and despair which are very human reactions around market bottoms.
