The average investor has underperformed the S&P 500 by ~460bps/year. DALBAR, which performs this annual study, attributes the underperformance to investors attempting to time the market and moving into and out of investments too frequently.

The best thing to do is to continue to buy and hold for the long-term, especially during market drawdowns such as the one we are currently experiencing.

Another favorite example of mine is the Magellan Fund. Peter Lynch generated 29% annualized returns during his tenure. Guess what the average investor made in his fund? The average investor lost money because they invested in and redeemed from his fund at exactly the wrong times!

Try to focus on the long-term prospects of the companies you are investing in.

Wishing you all the best out there!

Did you sell it at the top?  Smile

I sold bupkis at the top too LOL


I keep it very simple and don't move a whole lot of money around--I do have some stocks I will eventually sell just haven't gotten around to it, not sure when it will happen though. I'm going to have to figure something out because my kplan moved into funds that don't throw off short/long term capital gains, I prefer share accumulation in addition to new dollars added to portfolio--so no capital gains paid out don't make me smile much--I'll probably do a non-taxable trust2trust transfer, eventually. I don't like making my own capital gains--have to be right to buy, then right to sell, then right to buy again. I'm more inclined to sell a dog--maybe as portfolio grows to a certain level I'll change it up and take money off the top of winners, maybe...who knows.

So far, during this whole covid19 mess I have one dividend suspension.

I'm a bull at heart but market downturns is what gets me excited to put money to work, these are good times to invest--the question is how long do we get to buy at depressed levels?
