OT: Andy, of course, it is not "buy lowest, sell highest". I have always said that about LSI. I never tried to get the exact top with LSI. In fact, my average selling price last year was almost 30% below the peak. I have no regrets whatsoever. For getting back in, I might get interested in LSI only in the mid-teens even though I think it could get lower than that. If it doesn't make it to my buy point, it's OK by me. Regarding the overall market, I am not looking for a magical moment to get back in, though I do wish there indeed was such a moment. For example, when I get the seasonality signal from Sy Harding (http://www.syharding.com -- subscription needed), I am going to get back into SPY/DIA with at least a portion of my cash reserves, regardless of how bearish I might be feeling. Then there are Strategy Indexing funds like HFCGX in which I stay invested regardless of the investment climate. You might say I am playing it both ways, and might say that's not fair. My answer to that is -- It ain't "Buy lowest, sell highest"; it's "buy low, sell high."!
