RtS has been a champion of the concept that keeping a large stash of cash on the sidelines, waiting for the "once in a decade" opportunity to come, looking for the chance to buy as the market was in a huge slide/bear market. That is a great idea, one that I personally have "championed" as well. But man, is it ever hard to actually do! Did I jump in with both feet in late 2008? No. I was scared sh_tless. I did make some nice buys, but I had cash on the sidelines that remained on the sidelines until much later, until the late summer/early fall of 2009, by which time plenty of stocks had already tripled, quadrupled or more off their lows! The problem with "once in a decade" opps is that they are that way for the same reason that virtually all of us will be frozen with fear. By definition!
