I guarantee you that Cramer's 25% returns did not include the returns on his cash. That’s the conundrum. Everybody would like to be able to invest when sudden price drops present opportunities, but in the meantime the cash earns nothing. I don’t believe statements like Cramer's because the person never figures the 0% return they’re getting on the cash. They’ll say it’s “off to the side” or “doesn’t count” in their claim. I have 2 categories of money: Non-investable (retired cash, combination of emergency funds and operating cash) and investable (everything else). If it's investable but not invested ( ie, in cash) then it’s earning nothing and pulls down the overall returns of my investing activities. Unless the market crashes, in which case 0% on the cash pulls UP the overall returns. You’ll need to think about your goals, and how to figure returns, to answer your own question. For me, my investable money is almost 100% fully invested 100% of the time. Dave
