Most of the people I know who are still fully invested in the market have their investments in mutual funds in retirement accounts, are not close to retirement age, and have made an incredible amount of money just ignoring the fluctuations in the market so far. They kind of groan when the market goes down, but so far it's always come back, and they don't have the time or the inclination to try to market time or trade because they have real jobs that demand their attention all day long. They are intelligent people, and they are familiar with the research of Jeremy Siegel. I don't think they are aware that Dr. Siegel is saying that valuations got ahead of themselves, and is predicting that the bear market will continue, and that valuations may overshoot down as they revert to the mean.
