You forgot dividends and this is 2017 we're in a global economy.

Diversify.

That's only if you buy at the very very peak and not average down even once. When is that ever going to happen?

As long as you invest in dividend paying stocks that are selling for less than their intrinsic value, you can buy and hold all you want.

You keep buying over time so your average cost ends up being well below peak levels. Also, you're getting dividend income.

Son, buy-and-holders don't need to defend this -- instead we'll just punch you in the face for posting such an obvious and stupid argument.

>But a careful analysis of the record shows that the picture is more complex and, ultimately, far less daunting: An investor who invested a lump sum in the average stock at the market’s 1929 high would have been back to a break-even by late 1936 — less than four and a half years after the mid-1932 market low.

Fuck you're stupid. Take your same self-selfing fact and make the investor put all his money in the market in 1930 ... one year difference. Boom!

The length of your time period is irrelevant, dumbass. What matters is that your entire argument starts with a faulty self-serving premise that no one here is stupid enough to accept.
