Today? The selling opportunity of a lifetime -- don't miss it :)

Just so I'm sure I understand you, which stocks are you suggesting I sell from among these: INTC, MSFT, PG, XON, JNJ, RATL, CNET, NOK, etc.? I think I'd have to see these go down by ~40% after my sell (and then buy them back) just to cover taxes and commission. Plus, how would I know when to buy them back? Are you a believer that stocks are *not* a good long term investment anymore? I think I'd suffer from significant stress if I didn't own these stocks! I don't worry about the market going down half as much as I'd worry about it going up if I didn't own any companies.

Nonetheless, you are going out on a limb here and now have a chance to be the Great Predictor in my eyes. :-) So when would you have me sell? Presumably on Oct. 20th, right?
