| Missing/Avoiding the Best & Worst Days of S&P500 from 1993 to 2010 |
Assuming that you can avoid the 10 worst days, you will have to do so in a way that does not have you missing the 10 best days. If you manage to avoid all of the worst days, but miss all of the best days too, then your portfolio performance will be close to buy & hold (minus transaction costs).
