It comes down to whether market timing is important to your investing style or not. I decided not to worry about how much exposure I have to the market, opting instead for fine-tuning my portfolio to adapt to the circumstances of the moment. Most market direction discussion is pure short-term guesswork anyway, IMHO. If we get a snapback rally in the Naz over 4000, do market timers buy in again then? Or do they call it a fake and stay out and possibly miss the best gains left in 2000? And where is the final bottom for a bear market in techs? I prefer to spend my time on stocks instead of pondering the million variables that go into questions like those. To each their own. My time horizon goes further than most market-timers anyway. Good luck.
