Have you heard the saying: “pigs get slaughtered” in relation to the stock market?
Nobody can time the market! Yes the market will eventually climb over time, and yes, there will be volatility.
Normally I have always stayed in the market thru the last 3 big downturns but starting this year, my gut is telling me to get out which is what I did. Still have a 1/4 of my portfolio still in the market mainly because of tax consequences of selling.
If I miss out on gains this year, I can live with that. But, if the market has a correction, when I jump back in (can’t time the market), I’ll be way ahead
