Most will not believe this until it happens which will be too late. "It's no secret that traders and market timers who come in and out of the market will miss some of the bad months, but they will also miss some of the good ones as well. When the market goes up, it often goes up rapidly. If you jumped in and out of the market and missed the best 40 months during the last 40 years, you would have reduced your average annual return from more than 11% to around 3% (less than you would have gotten from a money market fund). Market timing is speculating and it rarely, if ever, pays off." Peter Lynch. Kat@stillbelievingthatGGpaysoffinthelongrun.
