_Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Fidelity Timer better than buy-and-hold?
There can be very long periods where the market moves essentially sideways. Such a period was 1964 to 1980. In 1964 the DOW was at 850. In 1980 the DOW was still at 850. If you bought and held, you would have been invested for 16 years without any appreciation. Another problem with a buy-and- hold strategy is the potential for a serious market correction. Do you have the risk tolerance to watch the market value of your entire portfolio decline 30, 40 or 50% not knowing how much lower it may go before turning around? More importantly, do you have the time to wait it out? Will your funds be needed before the market comes back?
