OT......

Post on how much cash to hold; question to DlphcOracl

Tom:

Thanx for replaying that post from last July. I enjoyed reading it. That Stan guy sounds almost intelligent in that one. But knowing this Stan fella as well as I do, I know that post was more front than substance. <g>

Actually, as I vaguely recall, that and other posts did explore several issues:
1. Whether to use stop losses, and
2. How much cash is the right amount; as compared to staying "fully invested".

I continue to not employ stop losses on those companies with which I am very comfortable, and playing LTB&H.......which is everything I own.

I continue, last year and now, to struggle with how much cash is the "right" amount. In the sequential Thread Surveys, Cash % increased, and the majority have some cash position. I remain fully invested, but now thinking about having 5% cash at the ready. Staying fully invested paid off well last year, but not this one. So I don't frankly know what is "right".

Thanx for the memories,
stan
