reliving off one's portfolio even in corrections I've been thinking about the same thing, since I am probably going to leave teaching in Jan or Feb. I think the best thing to do is sell enough when one's stocks have great ups (Qcom at 180-200 in Jan, Nok at 225 last week, NTAP at 250, etc) especially in an IRA, and always keep $200,000 or so in cash at any given time (or whatever cash would get you through a year). That way you never have to sell when we have these corrections and you always have some buying power for great buys (Qcom at 130 today, Csco at 65). Freeus
