Just to add my 2 cents as someone who has himself and his entire family 100% in G&K stocks and has played the GG 100% except for a few forays into options. I have come to the conclusion that LTB&H is great during bull markets and that cashing out or buying and selling is great in Bear markets.
So now if you can forecast when a bear market is going to hit then you can cash out prior, nothing wrong with that. If you get caught in the Bear and you are very talented you can trade the ups and downs, nothing wrong with that either. If you can do either of the above you are an unique individual and have no need of the GG.
However if you are like most of us then you need to ask yourself yourself how many years of bear markets have there been vs bull market and which one has won out over the history of the market, obviously the bull.
So as a final comment I feel the LTB&H approach was great last year and it sucks this year especially if you were heavy in Q as was I, but this will be one bad year as compared to hopefully many many great years down the road.

Speaking of Q it has been acting more like a chump this year then a Gorilla and I feel alot is on the line today, even it's Gorillaship in my mind.
