When markets become unpredictable, it's tempting to wait for the "perfect" moment before making your next financial move. But what if waiting is actually costing you more than investing? And how do you know the right time has really arrived?

In this episode, Michael explores one of the most common traps investors fall into: trying to time the market. He explains why waiting for prices to fall further can lead to missed opportunities, the hidden cost of leaving money sitting on the sidelines, and how inflation can quietly erode your purchasing power while you wait. Drawing on real conversations with clients and other financial professionals, Michael shares why consistency often outperforms perfect timing—and why successful investors focus on time in the market, rather than timing the market.
