Sooner or later there will be a few years where growth investors who got greedy are licking some deep wounds, while value investors are experiencing some solid returns. I don't think I will ever again lean my strategy completely one way. You set yourself up for failure for extended periods of time. Realization that we all have some recency bias is worth some money.

People forget that Ted Williams missed 5 prime seasons due to WWII and later Korea service. His numbers are amazing regardless, but would be even better had he not gone to war. 1942 he hit .356 with 36 home runs and 137 runs batted in. 1946 he returns and hits .342 with 38 home runs and 123 runs batted in. 1951 he hits .318 with 30 home runs and 126 runs batted in. He misses the bulk of 1952 and 1953 and returns full time in 1954, hitting .345 with 29 home runs and 89 runs batted in. He would go on to hit 521 home runs total, but it is easy to extrapolate that out to 150 more.
