Education . Missing The Best Days . 3 of 3RupeeCase
You cannot time your way back to the bounce.
01
The best days travel with the worst. They cluster in the same panicky stretches. Selling to dodge the fall usually sells the recovery along with it.
02
Time in beats timing. Ten days out of twenty years is 0.2 pct of the calendar and roughly half the money. Being out is brutal because you never know which day pays.
03
A SIP never checks the screen. It buys on a date, not a mood. Automatic, boring, always in. In a red week that is not a weakness, it is the edge.
The honest version
The crash you sat out and the rally you missed were the same week. Staying invested is not bravery. It is refusing to guess which day matters.
Why time in the market beats timing it, in plain numbers.
