Centre county Pennsylvania, USA | John C Bogle, founder and retired chief executive of The Vanguard Group, has long preached fund investors should "Stay the Course" over the long run. While that advice has worked very well over the 401K era, it is not a prediction of what lies ahead. With 20/20 hindsight we can see that tradeing mutual funds, exchange traded funds, stocks, futures, or options, has produced higher returns than does "Staying the Course".
For example, the attached chart shows that trading Vanguard Group's S&P Small Cap 600 ETF (VIOO) 4 times (four round trip longs) during 2016 produced significantly higher return than a "Stay the Course" strategy would have produced. Similar results can be shown for nearly all forms of paper investments over nearly any time period, from years to decades.
