Has anyone else noticed that the old term "buy and hold" approach to investing has been replaced with the "hang in there" approach to investing. And, "market timing" has been replaced with having a "managed portfolio". Different wording, same meanings, but apparently, "hang in there" sounds more negative than "buy and hold". Most research surveys reveal that about 66 percent of financial advisors who decide when to buy and when to sell your stocks (managed portfolio), end up providing a total return of less than the total return for S&P 500 index funds.
