Exactly, and investment should be long term - longer than the current "Wrong time".

http://citywire.co.uk/money/hedge-fund-attacks-woodford-patients-top-holding/a1067331?ref=citywire-money-latest-news-list
US hedge fund Kerrisdale has launched a short-selling attack on Prothena (PRTA.O), the top holding in the Woodford Patient Capital (WPCT) investment trust.
Kerrisdale argued shares in the biotech stock could fall by as much as 80%, saying it was 'certain' of the failure of its flagship drug NEOD001, a potential therapy for AL Amyloidosis, a rare disease caused by the build-up of amyloid proteins, which can lead to organ failure. Shares in Prothena fell 7.5% on the news, while shares in Woodford Patient edged 0.4% lower to 95.6p.
Prothena is by far the biggest holding in Neil Woodford's investment trust, accounting for 16.3% of assets, and is the fourth largest in his flagship Woodford Equity Income fund, at 4.1% of the portfolio.

I found the article puzzling
Woodford claimed that we are in an equity bubble of almost unheard of proportions.
Then he goes on to say that we are much too gloomy about Brexit and large sections of GB equity is significantly undervalued.
And one of his favoured undervalued sectors seems to be housebuilders - whose shares have been rocketing upwards in a bubble like fashion.

I think all the answers are in the article, if it is read carefully.
