An investor would NOT have to time the market right 100% of the time to help increase overall returns. Also, market cheerleaders always like to pull out the "miss the 10 best days" line of thinking as a reason to always stay invested. Why don't you ever look at the opposite side-what if you missed the 10 worst days? You know why? Because missing the ten worst days has a much larger positive effect overall than missing the ten best days has a negative one. But actually looking at both sides of the coin would disprove your theory so you won't mention it. This entire line of thinking is garbage.
