In this segment, the speaker reflects on the missed opportunity of buying a home two years earlier when 30‑year fixed mortgage rates were around 3% and home prices were lower, noting that the current market is less affordable. However, the core message is that decades of research across many asset classes demonstrate that market timers consistently underperform. The successful investors are those who simply invest regularly, not those who try to outsmart or time the market. The speaker urges listeners who consider themselves investors to commit to ongoing investment rather than speculative timing.

I'm not sure it's the best time. I think it would have been better to buy two years ago, obviously, right when you could have locked in a 30 year fixed rate mortgage at around 3% and you would have had a lower price on the house too. Now the housing market has become much less affordable. However, the general research over lots and lots of decades and lots of lots of asset classes show that market timers fail. The investors that win the game, regardless of the asset class, are not the people who are trying to outsmart the market, not the the people who are trying to time the market. They're the people who invest. If someone watching or listening to this calls themselves an investor, well then you're supposed to be investing. Market timers that try to speculate and outsmart the market, they just never really win.
