[quote=plm]Yes timing the market for a long duration is much worse than what you did which is more like risk adversion. But I would think most people who sold did not get back in right away like you did missing out on the rally. My problem was as the market kept going up without a correction, I stayed out since it just seemed more likely that there would be a correction.[/quote]You’re correct and I agree with you that it’s impossible to time the market. Which is why like you said, what I did is more like risk aversion than timing the market, because what I did is not dependent on time but more dependent on the event that can cause major risk passing.
