Trading halted as U.S. stocks plummet
There used to be a saying, something like if you missed the best 20 days of the market in the last century, you would just about break even.
Missing out is very, very expensive.

If you miss the best 10 days in the last 20 years of the US market, you lose 2/3 of the gains. If you miss the best 20 days, you are slightly underwater.
