It’s commonly held wisdom that in the long run the market always goes up. There was a Buffet experiment relating to active management vs an ETF tracking the S&P for some amount of time (a decade?), the ETF won as far as I remember. You are usually better off holding, because most active management is indistinguishable from random chance at best and usually is literally worse than doing nothing.
