>>Which trend? I'm following the long term trend upward... Good point, Randy, but be careful. As an individual investor, you have the luxury of not having to be overly concerned about short-term portfolio performance. If you have deep enough pockets and if you are conservative enough, you can buy bear market rallies for quite a while. But if the bear continues to growl for any considerable length of time, which it hasn't in more than 20 years, you could eventually run out of cash to buy the rallies. You would then just have to watch as your portfolio loses value day by day. Eventually, even longterm investors sometimes reach a certain pain threshold and look for investments which are less risky than stocks. That is how a normal investment cycle unfolds. Don't forget the importance of portfolio diversification and prudent balance among industries and asset classes.
