Key Points
J.P. Morgan research indicates that over 40% of stocks in the Russell 3000 experienced losses of 70% or more from 1980 to 2020, emphasizing the risks of FOMO (fear of missing out) in a rising market. Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), however, has demonstrated exceptional performance with a 1,030% increase over the past five years, highlighting the potential for gains even after significant price runs if the underlying company remains strong.
Market timing can also be detrimental. The S&P 500 has reached all-time highs on about 7% of trading days since 1950, with a third of these occasions not followed by a market pullback. This underscores the importance of a steady investment strategy, such as dollar-cost averaging into low-cost ETFs like the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO), rather than trying to time entry and exit points.
