He gives a history of previous market bubbles and crashes. I'm a great believer in learning from the lessons of history ... no better way to have a bad experience than vicariously! But, history is not genuinely cyclical. Before you get too impressed with bearish gloom and doom charts, you should think a bit about the current economy. Not the least of which being the fact that there weren't really tech stocks 50 and 100 years ago in anything like the way they are now, so where is our history for them? I do believe that there is some chance that he will be correct in his assessment at some point. Like a stopped clock? I would still retain over half my assets. In the best case I still have the potential for exponential gorilla growth on the other half. If that is what makes you comfy, then by all means. I doubt that anyone here will argue with being comfortable. But, it does mean that you have to accept that you are leaving a lot of growth on the table.
