PETE :

I understand your point. However, I don't like to follow anybody's timing signals. I have this feeling that sooner or later, it is possible for an advisor to err and that can lead me astray. Just staying fully invested in a diversified portfolio is what I like best.

And I always try to imagine that the next two years will be like 1973 and 1974. In that case, what is the downside that I can tolerate? Down 25% looks OK to me, but for some reason down 30% looks a little too bad! That would lead me to a 80% stock, 20% bond, or even a 60/40 portfolio in which I decide to stay invested... forever!

Dipy.
