I think it's the guys over at The Money Guy Show that did an analysis on a fictional investor that just had the worst timing. What they did was having this fictional investor buy at the peak of the market over a period of years and sell at the bottom. Don't remember the duration they did. What they found was this fictional investor still made money. What they emphasized was you can be the worst investor in the world, but if you stay in the market, chances are high that you'll still make out.
