    Not that anyone cares but I just sold all my equities in retirement plan and went to all cash again. I’m not a trader type and ride what i beleive to be longer term trends. While more agressive traders have likely lapped me, I havent don too bad myself. A little history. I went from 100% equities to 100% cash in late July 2007 when the Dow was around 13,500 and stayed that way until this year. When it went to 9000 I put 25% back in equities, then 25% more at 8000 and the final 50% in equities when it went to 7000. At 9500, I’ve had enough. Hope to be back in between 7000 and 8000 sometime in the next year.

    Anyone else exiting the market?

    You should never be 100% anything.

    If the tide turns and recession turns into “devalued green paper” / “too fast growth” we get inflation. I would NOT be in cash.

    Try for a mix of things. A lil gold, a lil bonds, lil commodity stocks, a lil blue chip, and throw some euro in there as well.

    I have been out of the market as well, got most of this last rally but missed the last 100 points on the S&P 500,
    But to be honest I think it is just what I see on this board that will keep the market zigzagging higher over the next few months,

    Oh well I am not going to chase this at this point, I am waiting for the end of October to see where we are.
    I would point out another thing as well that on the low end housing anyway I think we are seeing the same thing, worries and pessimism keeping builders from building and buyers waiting , but in the mean time the current and potential future foreclosures keep getting eaten a little bit more everyday.

    IMO there is not a huge over supply of SFH sitting vacant in SoCal, Apartments maybe but not SFH.

    I think that was smart, I personally would do the same thing. So that’s why the market went down this morning.
