[quote=Anonymous]It’s because people are emotional and let their political feelings dictate investment choices. They don’t think about tax consequences, having to be right twice (selling at the top of the market and buying at the bottom), or the fact that we do not live in a time period that is any more unique than other time periods. Enormous “unprecedented” events that have outsized market impacts actually happen fairly regularly throughout history and the obvious way through is to dollar cost average broad based index funds and to not panic sell. And yes - as you note, if the S&P 500 raises 40% over 3 years than “crashes” 40%…and the starts going back up, it’s more likely you are going to screw up the timing of getting in and out of the market than just riding it out.[/quote]
