That reads like you're thinking about making a choice and my view would be not really. The markets go up and down but over longer time frames head higher. I have been at this a long time now and at this point in time going to cash isn't anything I would ever consider, even when trading harder back in time now wouldn't be a go to cash move. One big reason why is when, not if, they offer a IRs cut of even .25 base points the markets are going to explode higher.
Besides things like that the reality is you can follow advice from people like DC who suggest selling your investments and buying a CD or several legendary investors who have made it very clear how to succeed investing in stocks.

“Don't try to time the market.”

And that simple advice has been passed down often by successful investors like Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett, Jack Bogle, and Peter Lynch through the decades. I don't see anyone from over at SA suggesting to time the markets by going to cash name in that list and make no mistake about it that is exactly what they're suggesting, do you ?
One thing I learned along the way is successfully investing in stocks is a marathon race run over many years, not an annual sprint.
