Brian I just wanted to elaborate on a point many will ignore: So everyone should sell all of their stocks AFTER the Dow has been shaken for 1300 points? Human nature is such that people will sell equities in mass after a substantial fall in the markets-pick your number. Your point is a good one. The time to evaluate your position in the markets is when markets have reached all time highs and ascertaining whether or not a market inflection point has been reached. The time to sell is at market tops not at market bottoms. It is a hard call to make and few make that call. This separates the successful from the unsuccessful. Good point.
