I'm not a player. I have 2 401k accounts. I can move money in and out of my accounts at will.
Today, I pulled back from my equities by 15% and moved it into bonds. I'm a coward. I made like 30k on my international equities from 2005 to 07...but this latest drops..I'll live with the safety margin. I'll move another 300k if it goes recession.
Is it because it is viewed as a "safe haven" or you think we are getting closer to a full blown correction and everyone selling their stocks will also move into bonds. You are betting that the increased demand for bonds will drive up the price of bonds and plan to sell at the bottom of the correction?
The nice thing about dollar cost averaging is that my biweekly purchase tomorrow will buy more shares of the index fund I'm currently buying. Hell, fund managers can't manage to beat the S&P 500 on a consistent basis, it's a good bet I can't either.
