There has been a 25% correction on average every 4 years since 1929.

Sell in May and buy in October every year has resulted in 3 times bigger capital than buy and hold since 1929.

Will this repeat for next 100 years? I do not care. I am already at age 83.  

I like clearing income tax load more often than sitting on a huge capital gain waiting to be taxed.

My variable annuity trading has been free of capital gain taxes so far since I have not taken any cash out.

But I dread cashing out due to huge unrealized capital gains. May be I will just leave it to the children.
