You never know and if you did, you'd be rich.
My long term retirement funds are mostly indexed, in which I re-balance a few times a year as needed. I will swing trade good companies in my brokerage account though. Buy on a dip when I think I can see support. Sell for a quick 3% gain. Then go find another. I originally would try to find a smaller stock to try to make a greater profit on. Sat/Sold too much for loses looking for the golden ticket. Sticking to trading major companies is much easier if you realize small gains can be useful.
