Buy & Hold Investors Will Get Wiped Out

Time in the market always out performs timing the market! People seem to forget!

You know the upside and the downside of that approach. Good luck

How about we keep money in money market or US treasuries like SNSXX during retirement and see?

[@Reppondinvestments]

I use tactical investing. But money market funds for now is another defensive approach.

As O'Shaughnessy showed in "What Works on Wall Street", P/S level is a better predictor of future returns than P/E, but neither is much good for close-in timing. Likewise, the S&P 500 (or earlier proxies such as the Dow 30) has spent much of the last 200 years at "all-time highs" -- not a good timing tool! Much of the profit in a typical two-decade secular bull market comes during the last few years (e.g. 1994-2000), when things are already crazy but about to get even crazier. The risk involved isn't for everyone, but aside from the usual initial bounce off the low of a bear market (e.g. 2009), the final years are when the big payoff happens.
