RE: Because Bob based his "worst case" assessment of the 40/60 strategy on a 10% rise in the market. Agree and good point. BTW, on new highs, I look at what money the index returns. quicken.com IF anyone thinks I am "rooting for Bob to be wrong", the answer is "You bet your sweet bippie". I believe ALL that own $1 or more of stock should be rooting for the market to break higher than the 10% upside worst case he called for. Only those 100% in cash or short the market should really be rooting for a correction and to root for a bear means you are hoping many of your countrymen and women are out of jobs as bear markets are not pretty sights. Only a nut would feel good paying taxes on huge gains only to buy the same stuff back a few months later 20% lower. I think Bob truly believes there is a secular bear ahead, or high odds of one, and he is preserving capital. I do not think he wishes misfortune on all us that follow a more buy-n-hold approach or the whole country that would suffer in a bear market. Kirk
