rethe GG does not eliminate risk Amen to that. I wish I'd thought more about valuation in Jan and Feb when my stocks were (apparently) very ready for huge corrections. The 5-10 year time frame is not appropriate for me, and having once had plenty of money, I would have liked to hang on to at least a portion of it in cash. I agree with the "gambling" psychology that having made HUGE gains, I was more apt to allow huge losses to slide by without getting out, although, timing or no, I knew darn well that the tech collapse time was coming. And I knew Alan Greenspan was on the warpath (though I never imagined he'd be quite so adament about it.) Freeus A bear market can last years. I see no point to allowing one's money to be cut to nothing and sitting there like that for years, instead of setting aside a nice portion to use and enjoy. Now I'll go back to lurking here. Didn't want you to think I wasn't reading. (This was actually supposed to be a reply to CHAZ message 25498, dont know how it got on the wrong place, sorry).
