Investors who delayed buying the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) until tariff headlines calmed missed significant gains. A $10,000 investment at the end of April 2025 grew to $14,260 by October 2026, while waiting until the end of June 2025 resulted in only $12,758.

This highlights the risk of market timing and the benefit of staying invested through volatility in broad index funds like VOO.
