Sounds like we're thinking along the same lines. I've built up a considerable reserve of cash over the last 6 months from ongoing savings that I didn't put into the market like I normally do and cash raised from selling stocks like Cisco and riskier mutual funds. So I'm ready to get back in when things bottom out. But I always hate this part...figuring out when to invest that dry powder. With this cash, though, I'm going into alternative energy. It's time has come. Really....the best bet is to look at the charts. Many charts are broken. Even companies like FSLR which is experiencing significant growth have charts where things at best are moving sideways: clearstation.etrade.com When the pattern changes, that's when to get in. I remember the period after the Naz collapsed in 2000.....I lost a lot of money trying to play the markets.
