Seems like a lot of people here thinking stocks are at some kind of high
and thinking about doing some profit taking. I'm tempted too, yet I'm
at my proper allocation in stocks, so do I really want to be market timing ?

Thing is, I have lots of stock in funds with not-so-low OERs, so maybe now
is a good time to sell them and move into lower-cost stuff like Vanguard
and iShares ETFs. I'm not sure how to think about that, because most
of these other funds are highly-rated and have moderate OERs - for
example, I have a good 25% of my stock allocation in American Funds,
well regarded and ERs of only 0.5-0.6% or so (except the foreign ones
are higher). Other positions are in well-regarded stocks like PEP, PG, JNJ.

What, if anything, should I sell ? (Hope this question isn't too open-ended,
I'm confused about whether I oughta be messing with any of my stock
allocations at all).
