An interesting side note. Recently I read an article that basically said, if there were two investor A & B. A investor would invest his money in December year end or January of the new year. Investor A would then exit the market around April/May/June. B investor would buy in June or July and hold until October or November. As I recall, Investor A would gain in his investment as much as five time in 5 years. Investor B would have made on twice during the say 5 year period. Looking at Gottfried's Data, I have stack the five years B to B number.
