Trying to outguess the market can quietly do more damage than a downturn ever could. On this episode, David Gagnon breaks down why market timing often backfires—especially near retirement—and how early losses can permanently weaken an income plan. The conversation explores sequence-of-returns risk, the shift from growth to income, and why retirement changes the role your investments need to play. Through real-world examples, the focus turns to building predictable income and reducing reliance on daily market swings.
