Buy and Hold May No Longer Be What Works Best for Investing
Team TRADEway • September 23, 2024
Buy and hold investing is a deeply entrenched mindset that most of today’s investors and investment managers have by default. It’s so widespread as a concept, that not many people are looking at it critically or asking if it still is working in today’s markets–or if another strategy would work better.
But this almost universally believed mantra of “you can’t time the market” doesn’t make a lot of sense anymore because of how investing tools have shifted.
The thing is, you can take your long-term investments to cash during most volatile times in the market to avoid losing money unnecessarily. And to do this you need to be able to identify market multi-year cycles (or work with someone who can do this for you). We offer such a service with our program
AMPT - Assisted Managed Portfolios by TRADEway.
Where the Buy and Hold Strategy Originated
Buying and holding through the market’s worst days can be devastating for your portfolio. So why does almost everyone do this?
The “buy and hold” recommendation was made famous by
John Bogle in his book
The Little Book of Common Sense Investing,
which was published in 2007. In it, Bogle argued that the fees that mutual fund managers charge rule out the extra returns they get from actively buying and selling in the market.
He showed you would profit more, and avoid lots of drama, by simply buying and holding index funds like the S&P and others.
But does this argument still hold up?
Where Bogle Got Buy and Hold Wrong
Bogle made the assumption that most people aren’t going to bother to learn the skills required to get in and out of the market effectively. And he’s right, most people won’t want to bother learning how to do that.
It takes a solid stock market education to time getting in and out of the market consistently. And making a mistake with regards to timing the stock market can really cost you.
But with the right training, tools, and expertise, timing larger market cycles is actually very doable.
In our program
AMPT, our Investment Advisor Representatives carefully monitor the market for breaks in market trends. And with our expertise (and the nimbleness that comes with not being in a mutual fund) we can get you out of the market more quickly, saving you from losing money unnecessarily.
We also have an option within
AMPT where you can request to have our investment advisory representatives do shorter-term trades using a portion of your money (we recommend no more than 20%). This can lead to a boost in your account that you can then turn around and re-invest.
Maybe the idea of trusting someone else to get your money out of the market and knowing when to put it back in makes you nervous. That’s understandable, given how much buying and holding is preached in our society.
Our long-term investing team are all registered investment advisors representatives. Our current roster manning the AMPT division include beloved stock trading Coaches
Geoffrey Nance,
Jenny Taylor,
Jared Russell, and
Ben Russell, and they are all well-versed in the market’s multi-year cycles.
Market Multi-Year Cycles
If you’re on board with the notion of someone getting in and out of the market with your long-term money, then the next thing to figure out would be when to get in and out.
How do we do that?
It turns out, markets have multi-year cycles. These cycles are one of the most important concepts to how we approach investing in our program
AMPT.
In short, you would look at longer term trends in the market. A key tenet of our
AMPT investing program is that longer term trends do not easily break. So when they do, that is a sign for us that we want to get defensive in our allocations.
We choose to not be in the market all the time, and sometimes that means we sit in cash while the technical charts settle into a new trend.
Image is from charting software Charts by TRADEway
The above chart of the SP-500 shows the normal bullish action in a trend we can easily identify, and then a break of trend. These breaks of trend are where TRADEway believes it makes sense to get defensive and get out of the market. Both watching multi-year cycles and looking for longer term breaks in a trend are two of our main tenets in our program AMPT.
Bear Markets, Bull Markets, and Squirrel Markets
Put simply, during a Bull Market, it’s generally a good time to be in the market; during a Bear Market, it’s not. And during a little something we here at TRADEway called a Squirrel Market (when the S&P is bouncing all around), it is definitely not a good time to be in.
Our
AMPT team keeps an eye on all of these kinds of long-term trends and communicates with our
AMPT clients often to keep them abreast of our current recommendations for your portfolio
(we believe in open and transparent conversations with our clients which is rare in this industry).
We also offer a range of risk profiles for long-term investing portfolios, from conservative to high-risk. High risk can yield higher returns. Our most conservative portfolio allocations are designed for those most concerned with keeping their hard-earned money intact. Our team can help you determine the best fit for your individual needs.
The times of greatest market volatility are when the market is “squirrely” and is breaking out of a trend. During these times, we watch the technical price action of the S&P closely to guide our decisions.
Aiming to Be in the Market on the Best Days and Out on the Worst Days
Our goal with AMPT is to minimize the risk to your long-term retirement funds. In the graph below, we see what would happen to a portfolio if you could magically miss the worst days in the market. While this kind of precision is not possible, more broad strokes of getting out of the market during a downturn are. Still, this graph can give you a sense of this principle in action:
Image credit: “How missing out on 25 days in the stock market over 45 years costs you dearly” by Michael Batnick
It’s impossible to do this perfectly–to only miss the worst days, and only be in on the best days. But we can get in and out of the market following broader, more general market trends, which is what we do in AMPT.
The Main Problem With Buy and Hold
It’s true that over decades and decades, traditional “buy and holders” will see a positive return. But by staying in the market through each and every downturn, they’re leaving money on the table unnecessarily–and lots of it. And a concern we hear with many new clients coming our way is that they do not have the TIME required to make it back if they happened to lose big on the down-side.
With a more agile long-term portfolio, you can avoid losing double-digit percentages during a downturn. And each time you successfully do this, your future returns are exponentially impacted by that extra money in the account. Wouldn’t you rather preserve your portfolio during a downturn and potentially have more in your portfolio to better take advantage of the next bull market? That is the goal.
If you’re ready to leave the “buy and hold” mentality in the past (where, let’s be honest, it should be), and if you’re wondering how much joining a program like
AMPT could impact the financial well-being of your family, book a call to learn more about our long-term investing portfolios.

Today we’re going to be talking about why central banks are purchasing so much gold right now. How much gold? Between 2022-2023, central banks around the world accumulated over 1,000 metric tons of official gold reserves according to the World Gold Council. Why on earth would they be doing that? That’s what today’s video is all about.

Today I’m going to show you some real-life examples of what you could do with $1000 in the stock market in 2025. We’ll talk about how to draw support and resistance lines, how to identify a rolling stock, and how to know when you should buy and sell a stock. The tickers I’m going to be talking about today include DBX, MSFT, PANW, ANET, CRWD, VRTX, ARM, FTAI, TMHC, ERPT, CCL, and GPK. There are a lot of financial benefits to trading with options instead of stocks. And you may not know what I mean by that, but you can go out to tradeway.com and learn all about how to do that there. Options cost less, and can generate more profitable trades with better risk/reward trade-offs. I’m a huge fan of them.

In today’s episode we’re going to talk about how to invest $1000 in 2025. The thing is, stocks make recognizable patterns–and you can learn to identify those patterns. First, get your hands on $1000 (go out and have a garage sale if you need to). Then learn how to do small money trading (we teach you how at tradeway.com). I recommend you try and triple that $1000 in the first three months, and then try and do it again. (Once you have about $10,000 in your trading account, you can start to do some real damage with that. 😀) ✅ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@TRADEway ➡️ Join the upcoming Unlock the Stock Market Challenge: https://www.tradeway.com/unlock-the-stock-market Click here to book a complimentary strategy session: https://www.tradeway.com/call MORE CONTENT: How to Tithe as a Trader Trading For Beginners Unlock Your Entrepreneurial Spirit These 3 Money Habits Keep You Stuck Does the Bible Teach Money Secrets?

Today we’re going to be answering the question, “Is gold a good investment?” One of the biggest reasons people consider buying gold as an investment is its price appreciation. Gold has a 20 year average annual rate of return of 8.8%. Now this is only a few percentage points behind stocks over the same time frame. You can’t argue that an almost 9% annual rate of return is bad. But that’s not the only benefit of buying gold.

I’ll never forget the experience of becoming a first time precious metals investor over a decade ago. I was excited about the idea of owning real money in a format that could withstand all of the generations to come so that my kids could have a valuable asset handed down to them. Between then and now I’ve learned a lot about the precious metals industry and how it works–the good and the bad. Today I’d like to share with you what I would do–knowing what I know now–if I had to start completely over beginning to purchase precious metals. Here’s what I would do…

Today we’re going to be talking about why central banks are purchasing so much gold right now. How much gold? Between 2022-2023, central banks around the world accumulated over 1,000 metric tons of official gold reserves according to the World Gold Council. Why on earth would they be doing that? That’s what today’s video is all about.

Today I’m going to show you some real-life examples of what you could do with $1000 in the stock market in 2025. We’ll talk about how to draw support and resistance lines, how to identify a rolling stock, and how to know when you should buy and sell a stock. The tickers I’m going to be talking about today include DBX, MSFT, PANW, ANET, CRWD, VRTX, ARM, FTAI, TMHC, ERPT, CCL, and GPK. There are a lot of financial benefits to trading with options instead of stocks. And you may not know what I mean by that, but you can go out to tradeway.com and learn all about how to do that there. Options cost less, and can generate more profitable trades with better risk/reward trade-offs. I’m a huge fan of them. We have a 5-day challenge called Unlock the Stock Market which is a great place to start your stock trading journey. ✅ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@TRADEway ➡️ Join the upcoming Unlock the Stock Market Challenge: https://www.tradeway.com/unlock-the-stock-market Click here to book a complimentary strategy session: https://www.tradeway.com/call MORE CONTENT: How to Invest $1000 in 2025 Part I Trading For Beginners Unlock Your Entrepreneurial Spirit These 3 Money Habits Keep You Stuck Does the Bible Teach Money Secrets?

In today’s episode we’re going to talk about how to invest $1000 in 2025. The thing is, stocks make recognizable patterns–and you can learn to identify those patterns. First, get your hands on $1000 (go out and have a garage sale if you need to). Then learn how to do small money trading (we teach you how at tradeway.com). I recommend you try and triple that $1000 in the first three months, and then try and do it again. (Once you have about $10,000 in your trading account, you can start to do some real damage with that. 😀) ✅ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@TRADEway ➡️ Join the upcoming Unlock the Stock Market Challenge: https://www.tradeway.com/unlock-the-stock-market Click here to book a complimentary strategy session: https://www.tradeway.com/call MORE CONTENT: How to Tithe as a Trader Trading For Beginners Unlock Your Entrepreneurial Spirit These 3 Money Habits Keep You Stuck Does the Bible Teach Money Secrets?

Today we’re going to be answering the question, “Is gold a good investment?” One of the biggest reasons people consider buying gold as an investment is its price appreciation. Gold has a 20 year average annual rate of return of 8.8%. Now this is only a few percentage points behind stocks over the same time frame. You can’t argue that an almost 9% annual rate of return is bad. But that’s not the only benefit of buying gold. Let’s talk about some of my other favorite reasons to purchase this precious metal. --- ✅ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@TRADEway/videos Click HERE to book a complimentary strategy session.
