[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1715883, member: 14585"] Charles Schawb did a hypothetical on market timing of 3 investors each investing $2,000 yr for the last 20 yrs in the S&P index fund. 1 always buying the bottom every year, 1 always doing it wrong and investing all 2,000 at the peak every year and 1 dividing it into 12 purchases and investing it at the close of the 1st day each month. The results. Peter Perfect bought the low every year and his 40k = 151,391 Mike Monthly's 40k investment = 134,856 Unlucky Larry bought the yearly peak every year for 20 years his 40k = 121,171 Their point was even if you were Unlucky Larry, you still tripled your investment by buying and holding the S&P 500 index.
