Have you done analysis on:
a) what would have happened had you stayed in for an extra month? An extra 6 months? The full year?
b) what would have happened if you hadn't gotten out at all?
The only reason I ask, is that most of the studies I've seen show that being able to predict macro level shifts in the market up to and including within 1 year time frames are largely less valuable than people would think. Especially for people doing long horizon investing.
