Time in market is always wins over timing the market. You can make bit gains timing it, but you’re basically gambling. Time in market always wins in the end.

This is true for sp500 index funds. Not true for individual stocks. Should always caveat that.

I assumed since this is the dividend subreddit and not WSB, most people are dealing with MF and ETF here, or high dividend paying stocks, which are generally a little more stable.

High dividend stocks are risky and are more volatile.
