As long as the OP buys back at lower than what he sold on 7/30, he wins. It can still happen. The market isn't too far up from 7/30 levels and a correction can come at anytime for any reason. Economy growth rate isn't setting any new record. Stock prices is at relatively expensive level one may argue. Bob boag may still have the last laugh. Who can really tell?
Well I should sell now ..... and if I do exactly same timing of going back to market as OP I will do even better.
But I never ever timed markets so I will pass that idea.
I am sure with hindsight 20/20 one can find clever exit and entry points and make killings in timing market.
I'm not sure there actually is a really rich market timer around. Can't think of a single succesfull one right now.
I'll just stick to a 50/50 allocation (roughly) right now. Heads (market up), I win! Tails, (market down), I win and get an excellent entry opportunity.
So far ...
Market timing 0, Schmarket timing 1
Funny you mention that. Yesterday I researched the business cycle. Before, I was convinced we were heading to a recession in 2015. Now I am not as sure.OP still on the sidelines. Good luck yall.

OP you may do well given the way market goes......
Watch me catch the falling knife ...
Bob boag, are you back in? What is your plan?
I would save about $200K in losses if I sold when you did and bought back now.
OP here - Wanted to lock in my gains (avoided losses) so I reinvested my parked cash today.
