I always appreciate it when my posts generate discussion. Regarding Warren Buffet, the main point that I was trying to make is that nearly every time market timing is attacked, some quote from Buffet is invariably brought out to defend buy & hold. It's almost as if just mentioning Buffet's name is enough of a defense! While he is undoubtedly one of the most famous and successful investors, because of the fact that he often promotes buy & hold, most people seem to think that this is the other option. Yes, we know Buffet is a proponent of buy & hold (though my quote in my post shows that he acknowledges its limitations). And yes, we know it worked for him. What a lot of people don't seem to recognize though is that buy & hold is not the only viable strategy - it's just the easiest and most popular. Thanks for the comments!

So i commend you for this, but i have to disagree strongly with this article, especially with your incorrect portrayal of warren buffets stance on the issue. In fact, Buffet himself is a major practitioner of buy and hold (although he has bragged at times that he could buy and sell proficiently, he has made his money with buy and hold almost exclusively). A few of his quotes: Much success can be attributed to inactivity. Most investors cannot resist the temptation to constantly buy and sell. Stop trying to predict the direction of the stock market, the economy, interest rates, or elections. As far as you are concerned, the stock market does not exist. Ignore it. and, perhaps best: Always invest for the long term. and: Buy a business, don't rent stocks. aggregated on http://beginnersinvest.about.com/cs/warrenbuffett/a/aawarrenquotes.htm I enjoy your blog very much, and have found a lot of useful advice on it.

But it is now, and if you check it you'll see that the study does include dividends. Just a brief glance shows that index fund gained 3.43, about matching inflation. Also, that's for 10 years, not 9, which I believe is the metric they used. Sorry, my link to my source wasn’t working correctly.
