  • Staying Invested Outperforms Market Timing, History Shows
    June 22, 2026, 8:37 AM EDT. As the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow approach record highs, investors face uncertainty about market valuation and timing. Historical data reveals the average bear market declines about 27%, rising to 35% if coinciding with a recession. However, avoiding the market during downturn fears has proved costlier; for example, since a Deutsche Bank recession warning in June 2023, the S&P 500 surged 76%. Similarly, since the April 2025 low, returns near 53% demonstrate the risks of exiting prematurely. Warren Buffett warns investors who buy only during comfort and sell amid fear often lose money despite long-term gains. The key takeaway: staying invested in strong growth stocks over time often outperforms attempts to time the market.
