Dipy: Re: "He still has to give the "get back in" signal, at which time, we will see whether the market-timing was any better than being a buy-and-hold investor."

As for me, I appreciate Brinker's willingness to share his thinking to enable us to act or not act as we decide. Moreover, my retirement funds are sitting safely in 100% cash and are exempt from tax analysis. That's worth a mint in and of itself.

And then there are those who were tempted to lump sum their lives into tech heaven at or around the top. Betcha he saved those people some money as well. In summary, even if one did not decide to sell anything, I wonder how many people at the very least exercised some caution.

Thanks, Bob.

Hey Dipster,

Are you still in the market 100%? Or, did you lighten up prior to the recent furies?

Ciao,
David Todtman

I would imagine it would be near his last S&P500 gift-horse
buying level adjusted for recent earnings. If we don't
get to that level, Bob may sit out the remainder of this
bull market and end up wishing he'd never been born.
