What if you had a magic calculator that could tell you just when to get into the market and when to get out? That would certainly be a popular gift item, but there’s one problem. No such thing exists! That doesn’t stop MILLIONS of people with money in the stock market from trying to TIME IT. JP Morgan’s new retirement guide points out what many researchers have already discovered: if you are out of the market at the wrong times, sitting on the sidelines, you will destroy your overall returns. In fact, if you missed only the TEN best days of the market over the past ten YEARS, your return would have been cut in HALF. If you missed the twenty best days, your return would be negative!!

According to CNBC, Baby boomers own an outsized helping of the market and are constantly reducing it–due to RMDs and other factors.
