Default Re: for long term investments, why not go 100% emerging markets?

"since drawdowns (downswings) hurt your portfolio disproportionately, reducing their severity and frequency massively improves your portfolio's performance."

how do you do this without understanding the stock market? how do you know when to sell and when to buy? aren't most people better off buying and holding?

In my example, I was using a casual investor, not a professional.
