The Wing-It Strategy
A wing-it strategy means that there is no fixed
plan or structure, and one goes by randomly
investing, a little here and a little there.
Richard Cayne of Meyer International says that it
is basically the most common strategy for mutual
fund investments. What are the factors that
decide how much you invest at what price? It is
easy to add money to your portfolio if the plan
is clear, but if not, then it is usually a bit of
spontaneous investment. Most financial experts
like Richard Cayne of Meyer International would
be in agreement that this strategy is likely to
be least successful since there is no consistency
without planning.

Market-Timing Strategy
The ability to get into the markets sectors at
just the right time is called market timing
strategy. The key point in this strategy being,
that the purchase is always low and the sale is
always at a higher price. However, it is
difficult to predict investor behavior, since
more than logic, it depends on moods and
emotions. Richard Cayne of Meyer International
says that more often than not, the reality of the
situation tends to be the opposite, i.e. the
investors buy at a higher rate and sell low. As a
result, there is doubt whether this strategy can
work effectively, predicting the future being
impossible even for experienced investors.
Richard Cayne of Meyer International states that
there are many indicators to the market-timing
strategy.

Buy-and-Hold Strategy
Richard Cayne of Meyer International advocates
this strategy as the most popular and most
effective investment strategy. The reason why
this strategy is preached by experts is that the
probabilities of making a profit are on your
side. 75 of the time markets are going up and
25 they go down. With some perseverance if you
can adopt the buy and hold strategy, 75 of the
times you will make profit. Another factor that
adds to the popularity of this technique is that
it is pretty simple to employ. It is very simple
and effective to buy and hold.
