Agreed. As much as I wished I had sold some positions last February when it was clear something big was building in Asia, I am confident that I wouldn't have had the guts to buy back in after the crash and would have missed out on the rebound gains.

In the end, I'm probably better off having held and continuing to buy every couple of weeks throughout than trying to time the market swings from COVID.

I did this too.

I wish I'd done this.
