Buy and Hold anyone?
I have been reading and listening to Paul Merriman podcast. Also listened to the Bainbridge Community Foundation, "financial Education series" at https://bainbridgecf.org
https://bainbridgecf.org/news-and-event ... ial-future
I am halfway through "How a Second Grader Beats Wall Street" by Allen Roth.
I have also ran some Monte Carlo Simulation at https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/mon ... simulation
I am convincing myself that a Buy and Hold strategy is the best for me. Considering I have 12 years until retirement and that I am in the "accumulation phase" (new term I learned), I want the market to go down. Even for an extended period, years? would be good for me. The more bad years I put in the Monte Carlo Simulation, the bigger my portfolio balance was by retirement.
My ego? intuition? emotions? Chart patterns? seem to get in the way of me sticking to a
a monthly, let alone a daily seasonal strategy.
For myself, I believe I will be able to stick to a plan that requires me to do nothing... vs something.
Well, at most I may rebalance yearly.
Best wishes to all in their journey.

I am just an average Joe. I have no clue to what the market will do.

Re: Buy and Hold anyone?
The accumulation phase refers to the time in the life cycle of an investment when an individual or an investor builds up the value of their annuity or investment... This is true because money that you have right now can be invested and earn a return, thus creating a larger amount of money in the future,

Re: Buy and Hold anyone?
Actually, my last 2 IFT's per my seasonal strategy were inopportune just by a day or two . missed gains 4+%. Thats kinda how it goes, but if my money was in the market for the rebound, and not in a "safe" fund, I couldve recouped my loss. oh well, maybe a hybrid style of TSP investing may suit my future....
Re: Buy and Hold anyone?
Which strategy are you following?

Re: Buy and Hold anyone?
I’ve read most of Bogles books, investor manifesto, etc. Most books preaches buy/hold because most strategies don’t work long term in beating the market. There’s a lot of public information on seasonal strategies and using historical prices to trade. If it was as easy as following historical prices, Wall St would have exploited this strategy, as would all the authors of these articles:
