Because you can't predict the future and time the market. If I had an exit plan 12-18 months before every resession I wouldn't be working today.

What are you talking about? Nobody said anything about timing a recession 12-18 months out.

It may seem a bit complicated for your strategy of ‘I’ll just buy more soon’ but there are other ways to do it that don’t involve 35-50% drawdowns multiple times in a working career.

Your way is fine though if it works for you. My point, repeatedly, has been *most* people can’t successfully navigate these drawdowns by sitting on their hands and not get hurt in the process. Good for you if you can, but scoffing at people who are questioning the narrative isn’t helpful.
