People talked about moving money and an impending correction around 20 in the Dow. People did move money. Here we sit at 26. Those people missed 30% gains.

Timing the market in retirement accounts isn’t worth it. Decide on your allocation preference and rebalance 1-2x per year.


This is good advice.
