I seem to recall that in 2013 (?) there were 51 all time highs. I don't think there was a single "correction" that year -- I could be wrongHi Forum,
An investing theory question my husband asked me that I didn't have a data-driven answer to: What if an investor took the approach of selling their S&P 500 stock position when it hit an all-time-high and then waited for the next correction to buy back in? And then waited until the next all-time-high to sell again, etc.? I'm sure folks have looked at this and compared it to the Boglehead "buy and hold, and stay the course" approach (that my husband and I follow, as you can see by my signature line). What do the numbers say and what would the downside(s) be of the Buy/Sell approach? As always, I'd appreciate your insights!
Thanks!
