I agree timing is most important factor to consider before buying or selling a stock but it is not easy to acquire this  expertise. 

But the training videos posted on "Youtube"  may help you to improve  your timing and they are free to watch.

Its best to use a desktop computer with larger size monitor to enter " youtube.com " website and search for "day trading" and " trading penny stocks"etc

Valuation is most important.
Specifically growing MOS. With that, timing is secondary or even irrelevant.

After all the maths, creating spreadsheets, adopting all kinds of
algebraic equations to distill numbers into yet another number, a decison
has to be made: buy or not buy, hold or sell.

Ultimately, its how "success" is measured.

No one has a perfect score in share investments where
there is no loss and only profits.
Its risk management that I find important.

If the risk is too high, then its best to buy an exchange traded fund
like the one managed by StreetTracks.. STindex
Start small.. perhaps just 1,000 units ( about $3,200 )
and just throw the key away.. ignore it... until a major event that
shakes the markets. Then check the price again... if its gone down
by 20-30%, consider buying another 1,000.

All this, using money that you dont mind losing.
( the risk here, is very low though )

Very straight forward and simple. No need for sheets of spreadsheets
and calculus to crunch.

Is this approach "value investing"?
Maybe not in the true sense.. but it provides a return of 2-4% per annum.
