there are new funds that move to cash when the market
is falling apart. They do it for you.

I’d like to find a fund that sells when the market is giddy with optimism and buys when folks are jumping out of windows. Selling when the market is falling apart is a great way to lock in losses, in my opinion.

I think that within the next six to twelve months there are going to be some real bargains to be had.

The time to sell was about two years ago.

That's part of the problem. To be sucessful, stocks need to be moved into cash (or other items) before the market (stocks) decline.

Doing so after the fact only means that you bought high and sold low - never a good investment strategy...
