Well, it did work out in the recovery from the Covid lows and has worked out long term for me. But at age 64 and retiring this year, I am more cautious & concerned about capital preservation.

Yep - this is why a 401k with a blend of index funds will beat 80%+ of the best active mangers out there over time. The mgmt fee on active funds is a complete killer. Over a 30yr period a 1% management fee will eat into your overall gain to the tune of ~30% compared to an index fund with the same performance. This is the kind of thing the big boys don't want taught in high school/college.

< taking a plan and executing it every week/month will yield better results.>. Yes. The only way to make money, is have a disciplined plan, and steadily execute it. Our brain is programmed to survive on the African Savanna pre-agriculture. So, our “gut feeling” is consistently wrong. What feels right will lose money. Carrying out the plan, at the moment of maximum fear, will make money. Your feelings tell you how to avoid being eaten by a cheetah, not how to make money in the stock market. Plans should be expressed in numbers, %, ratios, deadlines. Anyone who cannot think in numbers should not be trading stocks.
