John, I agreed with what you said, but what you said makes a profit, but it does not maximize it. Timing the market it very hard if even possible, but if you can miss some of the big drops, it sure helps. Paul's information as of late is about this. As he said, he's not anti Intel, but instead anti-overvaluation. Wouldn't you have liked to be short the last 30%, or at least protected by a Put? Lee

On the "risk" of not being invested. I believe from 1929 to 1947 no money was made in the stock market due to the Depression. Similarly there was a long period in the 70's when no money was made due to inflation. Most of the investors here just have not experienced that type of market yet. Its called a bear market and they are not fun. ITs when you own stock that goes down for no good reason and keeps going down. Portfolios should be balanced between equities and bonds and cash.
