What Does it Mean to “Buy Low, Sell High,” and is it Possible?

“Buy low, sell high.” It’s the most common piece of investing advice you’ll ever hear—but does it actually work for regular people? Many investors sit on the sidelines waiting for the “perfect moment,” only to miss opportunities and end up frustrated. Others chase short-term wins and end up treating the market like a casino.

In this episode of the Financially Confident Christian, Ralph Estep Jr. shares real client stories that show why consistency beats market timing every time. He explains the dangers of chasing quick wins, unpacks Peter Lynch’s warning about sitting on the sidelines, and points to Proverbs 21:5 as a guiding principle: diligence leads to profit, haste to poverty. Ralph offers one clear action step to help you build discipline in your investing and reminds you that long-term patience, not short-term luck, is the real key to financial growth and faithful stewardship.
