Investor2, <<Are you proposing to sell at DJIA of 8334? How much better (i.e., higher) would the market have to be before you are satisfied that the situation is OK?>> No, I'm not proposing that any action be based on the level of the DOW, or any other index. I am saying that maybe staying on the sideline until Japan takes some definitive actions, that the market's favor, may be the wise thing to do. My comment is not based on market timing as much as it is on the situation's economics. <<My answer to your question is that one should keep a balanced asset allocation, some stocks and some bonds.>> Doesn't everyone? I don't mind telling you that my portfolio is balanced 45% bonds, 35% equity, and 20% cash. Appreciate your comments. Stock Bull
