Total disappointment. Last year I started being out of the market 100%. I kept anticipating a pullback that didn't transpire until I finally decided to get in. I told myself to be 100% invested in S fund for January and not to get out until a trend has broken. Luckily that has worked for me as I'm sitting at the top of the Autotracker at #32 with 7.34% YTD. Not trying to toot my own horn because I don't know what I'm doing, I'm just excited to be where I'm at as last year was very frustrating for me. I spent majority of last year at the bottom 100 on the A.T. Thanks to all those that post frequently. I am on here alot reading your posts, but I don't post much because of my lack of knowledge. Here's to a good year of returns for all of us!!!

Not as good as buy and hold did last year, but I met my goal of 8-12% a year.

Re: PIP

I think it depends on when you enter and leave...

I am thinking that buy and hold is not all that good of an idea unless you put the money in at the bottom and take it out at the top... If you know what those are, I would love for you to share...

Good point RMI...

I was thinking in terms of the S&P500 since 1871 (10.56%) and since I started investing in 1994 (9.71%)..

However, I think someone who continued to plow money into the falling knife (given that they are buying into the falling equities) would end up with about an 8% return.

Timing the big moves in that chart would have given a chap a very nice return - regardless of whether the chap made any moves outside the two big ones. I managed not to lose much in 2001 and 2008 because I thought the market was frothy. In both cases I bailed to a very conservative allocation. There were way too many stock picking radio shows in 1999 and 2000 and way too many flip this house shows on tv in 2006 and 2007. I don't think timing those two peaks was that difficult. But, finding the bottom - for me - was. Got back into equities in late August of 2001 just in time for a Black Swan. Got in too early in 2008 (after not losing anything) and lost 8% in two days - yowser.

Your question probably is regarding today. Is it to frothy? You can see I don't think so via the AutoTracker. But, I have never pierced the Top 10 for any month or any quarter or any year and am sitting in the cheap seats so far this year. But, I don't think we have a 2001 or 2008 doom coming.

Re: PIP

I agree with you Boghie. I don't see a 2001 or 2008 happening this year, but I do see a rough summer in the markets thanks to the reluctance of our government to get their financial mess in order.
