yes, that is why I like an index better, it may swoon, but it is not likely to disappear

At the Cross Roads Hi Robert, lot of discussion about entry. How about Exit!!! Friday established a new high in my wife's IRA. If I was able to rate my performance it would be: Eve IRA = A+ Keith IRA = B Keith Taxable = A TEC Taxable = F The "F" on taxable TEC is because I got blinded by CTXS. That is why I'm concerned about the other accounts. Here is my dilemma. I feel that it is my financial duty to protect the IRA's at all cost. In the past I let a broker dictate my overall position. Now I think the fuzzymath approach is wiser. I watched my wife's IRA drop 25% from the March peak to gain back to a new high as of last Friday. I ask myself at this juncture? Do I let it ride? The mutual funds in her account have changed the trading rules and I have only one trade option available. Trades under six months are now charged a 2% redemption fee. I feel that at least half of the mutual fund value should be moved due to the new trading rules. I also think that some of the other equities have peaked in their own ways. This money could be moving side ways for quite sometime. Better to move to money market, dividend type or bond fund. AIM works well and I don't think I could adapt to any other Risk Management System. But some how one needs to know when to harvest and not let the fruit rot on the vine. Keith
