Sure, if you day trade. But if your timeline is 20 years, none of this matters. If you believe the market will be here in 20 years, index the S&P and get a good nights sleep. If you don't, invest in guns and ammo.

If you bought stocks right at the top in 1929 and hodled them until 1980.. you would have lost money.

Source? I find that hard to believe unless you ignore stock splits, dividends, etc.
