Missing 10 Best Market Days Cuts Long-Term Returns by More Than Half

Missing the 10 best market days during a period from 2006 to 2025 can reduce a $10,000 S&P 500 investment return from $81,000 to $36,000. This outcome is the result of selling during market downturns. Selling during a downturn causes investors to miss the best market days. Market corrections are normal; Berkshire Hathaway has dropped over 50% three times. To handle volatility, Warren Buffett recommends low-cost diversified index funds for everyday investors. These funds spread money across many companies to reduce damage when one sector drops.
