Hi my thoughts are that during ups and downs in the markets a lot more fee’s are generated by traders buyers ect. so if you stake you are somehow hedging against losses so its a good thing right?! Also having some % in stake adds to your security in life since even at gun point you can tell em to come back every month or years for some dividends 
win win
Not to mention locking your tokens is guaranteed to stop you from FOMO trading 
Much easier to trade your way out of profit, than it is to “time” the peaks and valleys.
