Hey Bob, nice to hear your thoughts. I'm wondering about October too, as you may have seen. My problem with trying to figure a contrarian angle is that it's hard to get the figure/ground relationship right. I mean, if everyone starts to think like we are, then the contrarian viewpoint will become what was the traditional viewpoint, i.e., that October will be bad. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see what happens.

Bob, thought it was very well thought out - and an excellent plan. I agree with you on so many of your points - I'm like you - when I hear the gloom and doomers being trotted out for the mainstay press - I want to run the opposite way ! Because everyone is EXPECTING October to be such a disaster, I think the effects will be minimized - after all, we don't have the huge gains to cash in this year. I also like your plan of DCA - as we move into more volatile times, it only makes sense to always have a little cash handy to take advantage of any dips - and to roll in and out of CCs
