Wait till the market grinds it out over days, weeks, months of hardly any movement searching for a reason to go higher with money of the sidelines becoming entrenched and happy to be out.

Seriously, I'll be happy to wait for months of hardly any movement as preferable to the last many months. Money on the sidelines will help keep interest rates low and provides a useful buffer to swings in the economy. The low-volume boring scenario we are talking about is exactly the time to get fully invested in quality companies. Trading frolics can come later.

Greg or anyone:
I have been fairly unsuccessful at trying to hold stocks, (ltbh) so would like threads comments on following
1. Have small holdings of Rtix, Ally, Accd, Apc, Gbx,Igt,Irf,and Mdc. Which of these would you sell or keep?
The techs here seem at greater risk to me....
2. Am planning to sell Dell and Glw or else sell covered calls.
At the money calls on Glw are April 4.40, Aug-7.50, Jan 8.80
At the money calls on Dell are Mar 1 7/8, April 2 11/16, Jan02 -5.1/8th
Any preference for which calls to sell? Or would be better to just sell stock and avoid worry ?
TIA
Sig.
Yes Greg, the NAS is going down unless Mr G declares an interim rate cut but have been more wrong than right this year
