I agree, and as was pointed out in previous posts (during the earlier phases of our portfolio shrinkage this month); if one believes the Gorilla Gamer's approach is sound then the LTB&H of those identified as gorillas in tornadoes is wise at any time, despite transient fluctuations.

I was impressed by the examples O'Shaunessey, not a GG'er, puts forth in his book, How to Retire Rich (others have done similar exercises): My memory is not elephantine but as I recall (and stand to be corrected) if one invests 10K each year in an index fund at the exact moment when it's the highest, one would still end up doing quite well over the long term. I suspect the GG'ers approach would do even better than an index fund (otherwise, I wouldn't be here <g>). Cisco's growth, truly a thing of beauty.

Timing is only possible in retrospect, though I seem to have a special knack for it, in reverse <gg>.
