There is really no need to deploy everything at once, once we turn, there will be opportunity to jump back in leaving not much more that the first 10% on the table, this vs the risk that we jump in 20% above the bottom (g). I would say that patience and steel nerves will be required. This is the best thing I read today after wading thru 3000 posts here. I personally can testify nothing truer can be said. I ALWAYS jump either 20% above, or 3 days ahead of the bottom, only to suffer sheer pain that force me to capitulate 10 minutes before the real turn (no kidding). In retrospect, it is much WISER to wait for bottom than to guess randomly. This is where the pro and the amateur differ. Just personal experience, but the last three or four days of market slides are the worst, in an ocean of red downticks, it is hard to think rationally. At least I can't.
