Chart of the Day: Missing Best 20 Days

blue bar chart dating back to 2003

Contents

Today’s Chart of the Day from JP Morgan shows the returns of the stock market if you missed a certain amount of “best days” dating back 20 years. To take it another step further, during that same time, inflation averaged just under 3%, meaning that over 5,040 trading days, if you missed the 20 best days, you would have broken even after inflation, vs. staying in and realizing an after inflation return of 6.8%.
