So the most aggressive recommendation worsened the performance of the portfolio by 14.4 percentage points for the period.

No big deal, lose $14K on your $100K portfolio or just $43K on your $300K portfolio. You only need a 17% return ON YOUR ENTIRE portfolio to make up what 33% of your portfolio just did to you. All of this for just $185 in just a few months of sleepless nights and teeth gnashing.

No problem. Let's subscribe to the MarketTimer which only makes you lose 50% more than the S&P.

I agree that capitulation is for suckers which means there are many suckers yet to be made because we are not there yet. Following Bob into this ravine for no good reason is also for suckers. This was for a 20% pop and now it's down 35%.

I'm not entirely sure where your numbers came from but they're actually a bit worse than I thought. I was using 12.5% which I thought was bad enough.
