Should you WAIT for market correction or Invest consistently NOW ?
📊 This illustration of my personal account highlights the performance difference between consistent, regular investing versus hypothetical gains from investing only during the best periods in 2024.
💭Many retail investors aim to “time the market”—hoping to buy at the lowest point and sell at the peak. While this may occasionally work, retail investors often wait for even larger downturns before entering the market, hoping to maximize returns. However, few investors commit their entire capital at a single time, even when presented with ideal opportunities.
⚠️ In building a sustainably growing portfolio, risk management must be the foremost consideration. As investors, we are fundamentally risk allocators. The larger the portfolio, the more critical it becomes to integrate robust risk management strategies. Pursuing large gains at the cost of enduring significant losses does not contribute to long-term growth.
Peter Lynch, the renowned investor and former manager of Fidelity’s Magellan Fund, famously observed: “Far more money has been lost by investors preparing for corrections, or trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves.”
Lynch’s advice reinforces the value of a long-term investment perspective. Rather than attempting to predict short-term market fluctuations, staying invested and focused on the long run can often yield better results.
