Hi GZ, Just a quick post(albeit after it was done). On August 3 rd I took my 401k out of the Russell 2000 and put it to a money market / bond account that is intended to give a low yield and conserve capital. Yesterday ,before the open I "timed" a re-entry into 50% russell 2000 and 50% S&P midcap 400 - confirmed about 4:35 this A.M. via phone system. In between I've picked up about $1500 in interest and have re-entered with a nice 7-8 discount on both the Russell and S&P midcap 400. Prior to this I've simply rode out the markets swings by staying in the Russell 2000. Not trying to brag - rather just say thanks to those who have constructively posted their observations of the market. One can trully learn here - if one is consistant and attempts to study the tools being offered. The need to lambast or prove anything is counter productive and I woul like tp personally thank C-hl and yourself for helping this long term positional trader enter the most insecure world of timing. This thread is a great place to learn and I'm thankful of the many contributions made by the many constructive posts. Thanks to all !! Bob
