  • By using this type of strategy, you'll naturally end up buying fewer shares of your favorite stocks and ETFs when the market is high, and more shares when prices are lower. Over time, you'll end up with a mathematically favorable average cost, and it completely takes market timing out of the equation.

The article from The Motley Fool discusses whether investors should sell their stocks when the market is near all-time highs. It highlights that while the S&P 500 and other indices are at or near record levels, this does not necessarily signal a time to sell. The piece explains that market highs are a normal part of market cycles, and historically, markets tend to go up over time. It advises against trying to time the market, as this strategy often leads to missing out on gains. Instead, the article suggests focusing on long-term investment strategies, diversification, and personal financial goals. It also mentions that if an investor's portfolio is significantly out of balance or if they need liquidity for upcoming expenses, then rebalancing or selling might be justified. However, for those with a long-term perspective, staying invested and perhaps even buying during dips could be more beneficial than selling at highs.
