LTB&H works fine for those who define long term as more than a year or two. It's interesting to see how the bear markets appear in a long term chart of the markets. Just a blip, but painful when they occur. I do not have a balanced portfolio and i might do some of that if we get a rally of the magnitude mccabe predicts.

I'd still vote for staying fully invested with a diversified portfolio; I simple plan that will work, but full attention is given to those who predict financial disaster and a bottom below the current bottom. In this respect Wall Street predictions are like flowers: they form blossoms, bloom outrageously, and then wither and fade away. The entire process takes four to six weeks , just like wisteria, or any other annual. In order to take advantage of the full upside and downside swing I'm usually 99% invested. About now I'm formulating a plan for the C.C.'s for May in the semi-sector. The volatility used to bother me, but now stocks that go no where without the volatility bother me more. Jerome
