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.

Amen. From time to time, the Dorsey Wright paid site lists statistics for being out of the market on the worst days vs. being out on the best days. Being out on the worst days is always more benefit than being in on the best days, all things being equal. Next time it comes up I'll ask permission to reprint it here.
