  • The Death of Buy and Hold? [View article]
    If you bought the Dow Jones Industrial Average on 10/29/1998 (8495 close) you have a ten year return of no capital gain plus approximately 2% per year in dividends. Money markets have averaged more than this, even after taxes, and CD's have returned almost twice as much.

    Buy and hold works in secular bull markets. Reallocate when the secular bear arrives. Mac77 has some good comments in this regard.
