FYI: Josh here – True story, Michael bought a house and had a gap between when his mortgage banker needed cash versus when his apartment in Brooklyn sold. This meant temporarily making sales in his investment account.
This scenario is just one of a million things that happens to investors in the real world, which makes actual results look different from those that can be illustrated by a performance backtest.
