Kerry, I'm not so sure that parking dough in cash for a prolonged time is wise. If we start heading for a "inflationary environment" cash is a looser as its purchacing power gets erroded. On the other hand its the safe haven for when the fed notches up rates. while I'm long cash, a selection of cyclicals and equities that provide absolute returns (REIT's have and continue to do well....acting a bit like bonds) are appropiate based on historic market behavior. Bear or sideways market stocks exist in the universe of equities that will do well. Additionally the vix has proven to be useful barometer with regard to trading and timing. Certianly buyings and holding indexed funds (which worked so well for Joe Public in the 90's) ain't going to have a repeate performance anytime soon. mad2
