Investing.com - A recent research piece published by JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) shows that the best 10 days of the S&P 500 over the last 20 years accounted for nearly half of the market’s returns. Let that sink in.

And here’s the kicker: yesterday might have just been one of those days.

The S&P 500 surged 3.26%—one of this year’s biggest rallies, right behind April 9th’s crazy 9.56% surge.

Now, picture this: even if you’d bought the S&P 500 at this year’s market bottom near 4,850, you would only have gained 2.36% without those two days. Add those days, and your gains would be an eye-popping 15.18%.

This is exactly why trying to time the market will never beat owning the right stocks and rebalancing them with discipline. I’m sure a certain famous investor from Omaha, who retired last week with over 5.5 million percent gains, would agree.

But since (I’m guessing) you don’t have the same resources as Warren Buffett, here’s an alternative:
