>>>I liked the caller's idea this weekend who threw in the towel after incurring $250,000 losses on the equity portion of his portfolio and put the proceeds into VNGD GNMA Fund for the future until there is evidence of an improved environment. Yikes!!! was that sat or sun? And do you know what hour? that sounds interesting enough that I may try to download/play it. Oh, and thanks Pete for the WSJ link. I read the first part of the article, and I plan to read the rest tonight. Very interesting.

Those weren't his exact words, but that's essentially what he meant. If interested, you can see the exact quote in his weekly comments at www.hussmanfunds.com. His article is well worth reading every week, IMO.
