<<Only advice I can give is that it may be reasonable to greatly reduce or eliminate one's tech stock holdings from mid-March to mid-October>> I've heard an amazing statistic from two different sources...now here's the jist of it (approx numbers)... If you invested $10,000 in 1957 and only had it in the market each year from April thru end of September, you would now have a grand total of $13,000 However, if you invested that same $10,000 in the market every year from October thru March, it would now be worth $540,000!! There is just no logical reason to risk the significant gains that we'll likely have before the end of March. I have significantly reduced huge percentages 2 years in a row by not taking my hand out of the cookie jar before the end of March. What bothers me the most is that I knew better...but couldn't listen to myself. That discipline needs to be reinforced. This year I plan to leave only a very small percentage in a trading account to satisfy the 'trader' rush. SR
