I work with a guy who loves to throw around "my financial advisor" all the time. He let it slip the other day that he ought to get back in soon. With an astonished look, I asked him why and when he got out? He said his financial advisor told him to on March 25th. As of today, he has missed out on about 44% gains since the day he got out.

I could not freaking believe the words coming out of his mouth.

An excellent example why market timing is usually a losing approach to investing. It's almost as if nobody really knows what the market is going to do in the near future.

Or, as Warren Buffett once replied when the Dow Jones Average closed above 10,000 for the first time and he was asked in which direction, up or down, was the next 1,000 point move in the Dow Jones going to be?

He said, "I have no idea if the next 1,000 point move on the Dow Jones is going to be up or down. But I know with almost 100% certainty which direction the next 10,000 point move will be.....UP."

Imagine paying someone for advice like that.

He probably didn't pay for that advice. The advisor probably just wasn't effective in talking him off the ledge.

You might be surprised.

Retirement Advisors of America is an example of “advisors” that routinely give such advice.

Just asked him if he had gotten back in since we last talked. Said his FA said to wait for the next correction. :sadnana:

Did you tell him to fire the FA tomorrow morning?

If this guy isn't picking up what I'm putting down, then he probably can't be helped. I feel bad for him.

Because 3% is impossible right? It’s not like it’s 25% from where we’re at. We could hit it tomorrow.

I have never seen so much interest for something quite so downvoted?

I can only surmise that the goals of these few and the bulk of amassed holdings made this a timely exit. I doubt they return into the market and work on ways to give it all away.

My situation is not that deep and I will not be exiting at this time. With what's coming at some point it's anybody's guess?

This stated I cant wait to share the gaggle of opined views this thread has presented with the group. (sic)
