Hi DF, Well, it depends on the class of the mutual fund. If it is a diversified growth stock fund, I'd suggest 8% to 10% Sell SAFE and 0.0% Buy SAFE. This assumes that you're following the Idiot Wave's Cash reserve levels for mutual funds or a default 33%. For sector mutual funds, I'd suggest that you will probably need to bring the Buy SAFE up to 10% as well. You can probably do fine with the IW Cash reserve level or 33%. Finally if you are using one of the souped up Index Funds with 1.5X or 2.0X volatility ratings, you're going to want to use 10% SAFE on both buys and sells and increase the cash reserve levels to 50% or whatever the Idiot Wave is calling for on individual stocks. For "growth and income" type funds, you can probably do fine with 8% SAFE for selling and 0.0% for buying. Here, you can reduce your Cash Reserve level to about 20% maximum and still have plenty of cash most of the time. Hope this helps a bit, Tom PS: it doesn't hurt to go over this stuff once in a while - even if just to remind myself of it!! PPS: I noted that SI now has a "Silicon Investor University." Maybe we should publish the collected wisdoms of the AIM Users for the university!! Any thoughts?
