I mean, this bullshido sounds cool but have you seen it done where you miss the worst days? I included one below and it's similarly ... improbable.

Given that the best days are often very close in time to the worst days, it's highly unlikely that someone would surgically miss the best without also missing the worst so color me a bit skeptical that this is really that meaningful.

buy-and-hold is for plebs
The empiric data says you are wrong. There have been dozens and dozens of papers written about this, many by my Booth professors.

Takes swipe at the Chicago school but misses the sarcasm.

I’ve stopped looking at our investments accounts since the middle of last year. Fully invested and everything goes into the S&P.

Do you also only do lights off missionary sex?

My play money is still down a bit from last year but it is still hanging around for when I get bored. Boring returns get me where I want to be early enough in life I can piss off and do my own thing. Males don’t live too long in my fam so might as well enough it
