US investment firm Fidelity found a similar result when they analysed the top performing client accounts. Those that delivered the best results -- by a considerable margin -- were inactive accounts (either the client had died or had forgotten they had an account!).
Transaction costs were a part of the reason, but mainly it was because investors are an impatient lot. As Charlie Munger said:
"It's the waiting that really helps you as an investor, and a lot of people just can't stand to wait. If you didn't get the deferred-gratification gene, you've got to work very hard to overcome that."
All good things to those that wait.
