Donnie, I don't think we are going to see a free fall here. But whether we do or not, why not consider dollar cost averaging your way back in? Say, commit 20% to the market every two weeks. That way, if this is a temporary dip, you'll have bought some low, and if the market continues to decline, you'll still have cash available for bargains. Just a thought. Your term "spooked" is quite appropriate. We all got used to the market going straight up last year, and buying the dips was the best strategy. Then things changed. Now, buying the dips scares people. All I know is that buying the dips will become a good strategy again -- I just don't know when. Cramer takes a lot of ribbing, but I really like one of his philosophies -- "you have to buy when you can." INTCfan
