📈 The best trading days often determine long-term returns! Last year, the S&P 500 rose by 16.4%. However, anyone who missed the ten best trading days would have ended up with a return of -9.5%. The difference is even more significant over the long term: Since 1990, stocks have delivered an average annual return of 7.7%. But someone who missed the ten best trading days each year would have achieved an annual return of -15.4%. 💡 The message is clear: It’s nearly impossible to reliably predict the strongest trading days. Exiting the market during turbulent periods risks missing the very days critical to long-term wealth building. ⏳ Time in the market is often more important than trying to time the perfect entry point.
