That is a good reason I only "trade" around core positions. If nothing else, it has me taking profits when I am bullish and the market is going higher then buying back when I am scared and the market is lower.

Asset Allocation 90:10 to 5:95 vs 65:35 to 60:40:
“.there are confident ones; they move from ninety-ten (90:10) in stocks-bonds to five-ninety-five (5:95) in stocks-bonds. That implies a degree of self-confidence bordering on hubris and self-deception. Over the decades, when both groups...have equal limited ability to "time," the cautious chaps who alternate between sixty-five-thirty-five in stocks-bonds and sixty-forty are likely to end up with a superior risk-corrected total return score. “
[Paul Samuelson, "Journal of Portfolio Management," Fall 1994]
