In this video, Mohnish Pabrai explains why most investors should avoid trying to time the stock market. He highlights that Warren Buffett thinks about market timing because he manages hundreds of billions of dollars and must carefully deploy capital.

He argues that successful stock investing is about stock selection, not forecasting wars, interest rates, AI trends, or geopolitical headlines.
