The referenced article states, "For example, data from Ibbotson Associates shows that if you had invested $1 in the stock market in 1926, that dollar would have been worth $1,114 at year-end 1995. 'However, if you had been out of the market for the best 35 months during that 1926-1995 period, your dollar would have returned just $10.16!'"

This is a one-sided analysis that is often used to support the buy-and-hold philosophy. Notice that they never state your return if you had been out of the market for the worst 35 months during the study period.

Best wishes,
