ajwodecki: I can tell you from my experience over the past two years (FWIW) that I will sell all ny tech stocks before the second week in March and will not look to repurchase tech stocks until mid-October. What I do from mid-March to mid-October will depend on my take regarding: inflation, the general investment climate, Fed reserve policy, etc. If I have any doubts, I will sit on T-bills and enjoy the summer. One final thought: I believe I have read that the year AFTER a presidential election is usually not a good one for the stock market.

I agree with you completely on trading 6 months. . . I had originally planned to do that, but family illness made it impossible for me to keep with my schedule. . . next thing I knew I was cancelling summer plans, so I could work double time on project. I was able to profit nicely on REITS held through the summer declines, however. They outperformed all other areas. >g< I should have saved the hate mail from when I called a shift out of all techs and into REITs early March. More traders were upset with me then than at any other time. I was thought by many to have "lossed it". REITs ended the summer up 28%, not including dividends. Techs lost 50 to 90% over the summer.
