EBS 20: Buying at the Bottom | Why It Rarely Works Out

Episode 20 tests the advice to buy at the bottom of the market. We show how hard it is to identify a true bottom in real time, and why flat periods can drag on for years or produce false signs of recovery. Using historical data across hundreds of markets, we compare buying after a decline with buying into a boom and find that the stronger results usually come from markets already showing clear upward momentum. The takeaway is simple. Buying at the bottom sounds appealing, but buying into a genuine boom is often the better strategy.   Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 01:56 - What is buying at the bottom? 02:28 - How do you know when a market is at the bottom? 05:46 - Alternative areas to invest in 13:27 - Sydney example 15:00 - Buy at the bottom formula 20:35 - Buy in a boom formula 22:10 - Buying in a boom performance 30:16 - Why is late better than early? 35:22 - How long? 36:28 - Conclusion ============================================================= Got questions or feedback?
