[quote=cvmom]I disagree. Missing even just a few very good days in the market (which no one can accurately predict when they will be) can cause your returns to be significantly lower than buy-and-hold. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/how-missing-out-on-25-days-in-the-stock-market-over-45-years-costs-you-dearly-2016-01-25%5B/quote%5D
I’m not talking about missing a few days. I’m talking about selling the day of the election and buy back the morning after if the floor didn’t fall out underneath us. Which mean you only miss a few minutes to hours depending on when you sell and buy.
