Marc, re: "By the way if Bob eventually goes to a sell signal I still expect to hear it leaked and announced on CNBC a couple of days before I get it in the mail since I seem to be getting it later than most."

MARKET REACTION TO SELL SIGNAL/STRATEGY FOR SELLING OUT--

Any thread thoughts on the severity of the market reaction (if any) to Bob's sell signal? If we may say that those who react will primarily be individual investors who will not all be able to react at the same time, perhaps the reaction will be spread out over several days, and will be lost in the noise. If so, a later notification to some might not be much of a disadvantage. On the other hand, we've all seen what can happen to the market when Ralphie "flip-flop" opens his mouth, and it's not impossible that Bob's sell signal could have a similar, quick effect. In such a case, those who receive later notification will be at some disadvantage unless a bounce creates a selling opportunity.

Anyone here who would honor a sell signal from Bob, but perhaps not do so immediately in anticipation of a better selling opportunity? What if you learn that three days earlier Bob said "you can't afford to be in the market for even one more day", and the market is already down about 10% in those three days, would you still likely sell immediately?
