Tommaso, certainly if we again see bad times like '74 then it will have been better to not buy anything now or be all in cash to await for those great buys.

One insurance company I am looking at now is CNA, run by Larry Tisch. From what I can understand, it is very conservatively managed.

If 1973-4 valuations are your standard you must have been mostly in cash the last 20 years. Returns from competitive investments like money market accounts and T-Bonds count for something, as does inflation. Back in those days we were having or headed toward double digits on all, I believe. I think 4% on a Money Market account encourages you to take some risk.
