I'm sure you read the whole sentence though and could see I wasn't recommending a buy or sell on GOOG. To your point I would argue there is a difference between timing trades and pricing stock. If I think Google is worth say $400 I would be foolish to hold a liquid assets in a pending trade waiting for that price to arrive. However if the news had been all bad on the day off it might have been a smart move. That would be pricing, not timing no? Up 1.55% now- however it was down $9 early on.

You should know by now, don't time the market. Look for value and buy it when you find it. “looking for some weakness, or maybe if you think the market will overreact to Google leaving China”
