A better analogy is to think of it in terms of trains.
If there is a train and you decide not to get on it but get on one a couple of hours later, your watch still says the same time as if you had got on the first train. But you won't get to your destination until a couple of hours later.
Same with investing - if you decide not to invest you'll still have as much cash, but you won't reach your investment goals until later in life. Unless you get lucky and the market tanks. But the odds are against that happening.
Makes sense. More sensible option Might sell 50% (or less) and look to rebuy later. Not trying to call the bottom but if I can buy at 10% discount it'll be worth doing.
Gotta be in it to win it.
