>>Leads me to think that once one of these is attained, preferably c) of course, would it make sense to dump and await the next inevitable correction, then buy back in, or take some money off the table, to dry out for a correction. I'm talking strategy here, and wondering if something like this might make sense.

Chaz, What you are talking about is a timing model. It's been proven over and over again that it can't be done on a consistent basis, at least not by mortals. Best to ride out the corrections; they are usually brief. Turn off your computer and come back in mid July and the world will look a lot better.

chaz,

I'll tell you mine. a) 30% b) 50% c)100%

Thanks for the post. For me, holding expectations like these helps me focus on only the small number of outstanding investment opportunities that will allow me to consistently meet them.
