When the Next Bear Market Arrives, History Says to Avoid This 1 Costly Mistake

The article warns investors against market timing during bear markets, emphasizing that missing the market's best days can drastically reduce long-term returns. Historical data shows that an investor who missed just 10 of the S&P 500's best days over 30 years would see returns drop from 10.3% to 7.4% annually. The key lesson: staying invested through market downturns, rather than trying to time the market, is the most reliable strategy for building wealth.
