Summary

The market's going crazy, the headlines are screaming, and your gut says, "Get out now!" But what does the data actually say? Spoiler: Sitting on the sidelines has a price tag, and it's bigger than most people think. Doug Goldstein breaks down why missing just a handful of the market's best days can wreck your long-term returns, why those best days love to hide right next to the worst ones, and what you should actually do the next time volatility makes you want to hit the panic button. Pull up your latest statement and settle in. This one's worth four minutes of your time.
