Investment strategies are influenced by the time horizon of investments. Shares should be invested in with a minimum time frame of 5 years in mind. Passive investment strategies, including buy and hold and passive indexing, are often used to minimize transaction costs. Passive investors don't believe it is possible to time the market.
Investment strategies can use historical results and valuations to shape views of the present without trying to forecast the short term. Spreading contributions through dollar cost averaging avoids having to predict market movements.
A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton G. Malkiel describes tax-loss harvesting, automated investment advisers, factor investing, and risk parity, giving readers concrete investment approaches to consider when starting a portfolio or 401(k).
