According to a Study by J.P. Morgan over the past two decades, 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 of the 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 10 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 for returns of the S&P 500 occurred within two weeks of the 10 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬. For example, the second worst day of 2020 – March 12th – was immediately followed by the second best performing day of the year!

While past performance does not guarantee future results, taking “control” by selling out of the market after the worst days is likely to miss the best days that follow. 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥-𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞. – 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦: 𝘑.𝘗. 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯
