The emotions are real.
I feel them.
I think, Ryan, you're able to control your emotions better than me.
I think I'm able to control my emotions better than the average investor by a meaningful amount.
Just another principle that I wanna share with you, and I know I'm jumping around here, but it's an important principle about market timing.
We already talked about it.
I've said it many times, just stay in the market.
I want you to think about the damage that can be done by getting it wrong with market timing.
If you look at the last 30 years of investing, the annualized return on the S&P 500 is about 9%, which is pretty darn good.
If you missed the 20 best days in that 30 years, your average return goes down by more than half.
You're about 4%.
It's a dramatic just for 20 days.
Now, that doesn't mean that the 20 days are once every year and a half.
They happen when they happen.
Here's the worst thing.
And here's why emotions and here's why objectivity really matter is that those best days are
happen to be clumped, happen to be clustered right around the worst days.
That's the way it works, is after a meaningful market downturn, you get these whooshes to the upside.
And so if you're market timing and you're saying, well, I'll know to get back in at the right time, you have to consider that you're going to try to invest when every instinct, every emotion is going to say don't invest because it's just been a bloodbath in the markets.
Objectivity really matters here.
