The Cost of Timing the Market

Value of $10,000 Invested in the S&P 500 Jan 2003 to Dec 2022

Bad timing can take a bite out of returns.  Below, we show the risk of trying to time the market.  By simply missing out on the 10 best days, an investor could lose the majority of their overall return. For example, an individual who invested $10,000 and remained invested for the entire time period would have accumulated $64,844, while an investor who missed just 10 of the top-performing days during that period would have accumulated only $29,708.
