The S&P 500 Fund

edited November 2020 in Fund Discussions
...2020 looks like it could go down in history as the worst intra-year drawdown that finished the year with a positive return. And the fact that those gains are now in double-digit territory is not something many (any?) people saw coming. The S&P is now up well over 60% since bottoming in late-March.
Interesting food for thought:
Sitting on your hands and not panicking, even when stocks are down big, remains one of the best investment strategies on the planet.

    A recent AAII article showed that beginning with equal investments in the S&P 500 sectors and rebalancing yearly from the best performing sectors to the lesser performing ones increased one's returns substantially over time. However that must be taken with the willingness to go through all the watching and rebalancing efforts required. Your choice.
