many of the declines just didn’t make any sense on the companies’ fundamentls, so I emptied out my cash savings and invested in good companies and watched them rise along the way.

Athough I personally stayed invested and benefited, I normally would have sold out in the past. It’s one of the reasons that I have hired a personal advisor to manage a portion of my money. They tend to stay invested, because they are objective and are paid to be invested.

Also, there is a research artcle by Dalbar that shares individual investors in index mutual funds have 3-4% returns even though the market has returned 10% during that time. It turns out inviduals tend to sell when the market goes down and buy when it goes up, reducing their returns.

Yes you missed it if you cashed out when DOW was at 12,845 but most people should just keep investing and invest more when the market is down. This advice should not be followed if you think the US market will never recover, in which case you need to move out of the country since your career is probably in danger also.
