US Investors timing the market? Classic

Article Link: 

A large outflow out of equities in the last 2 weeks according to this article.  I see it as investors are trying to time the market.

Bad idea....!  Timing the market is a losers game.  You have to make two correct calls here, when to get out and when to get back in.  The probability of making those two calls correctly and doing it consistently is a six sigma event (very unlikely).

These outflows always happen.
