Cost of Trying to Time the Market

July 17, 2021 By Jean Keener, CFP, CRPC

Trying to time the market can be costly.  If you’d invested $1,000 in the S&P 500 index in 1990, you’d have had $20,451 by the end of 2020.  However, missing the best day reduced your total to $18,329.  And, missing the 5 best days, reduces it to $12,917.  Because a picture shows this so well, please check out the attached graphic from Dimensional Funds.  Please also see the attachment for specifics on this calculation.

At Keener Financial Planning, we recommend a buy-hold-rebalance approach.  Our approach is evidence-based and takes the guesswork out of investing.  We don’t have to predict the market to have a positive investment experience!
