Staying invested long term matters because the market's best days cluster next to its worst, so exiting after a drop can mean missing the rebound.
Michael Lytle, Chief Investment Officer at StoneX Wealth, unpacks the market history behind staying invested and why asset class leadership keeps rotating.
The S&P 500 has finished higher in about three of every four years since 1980, though it dipped into the red at some point in almost all of them. The best and worst trading days tend to land within days of each other, which is what makes market timing so hard. A simple 60/40 mix of stocks and bonds has historically smoothed that volatility while capturing rotating leadership across asset classes.
