Investors are better off staying the course through the stock market's latest downturn than trying to predict what could happen or time their trades, says Burton Malkiel, one of the pioneers of passive investing.

"Eventually, we're going to have treatments. We're going to have a vaccine. Eventually, we are going to have stimulus. Maybe not before the election, maybe not before even a new administration, but it'll happen," Malkiel said.

Instead, Malkiel suggested they "stick with index funds," emphasizing that those who try to predict the market's direction "won't be able to do it." "If you're in an index fund. You've got growth and value. You've got, if it's a broad-based index fund, ... small cap and large cap," he said. "You'll never be able to predict when one is going to be in the ascendancy and you're much better off to just be broadly indexed in a very low-cost index fund."

InvescoUS This way he can get rid of his stock before the market tanks

It's been proven that following Fed action on interest rates beats the passive buy & hold strategy. That's buying stocks when the Fed lowers rates & selling when rates are raised. In between cycles? Day to day movements like yesterday are more to your point.
