That old chestnut sure hasn't worked recently.
S&P 500
May 28, 2010 1089.41
Oct 1, 2010 1146.24
Net gain: 5.2%
I sat through the last down turn so I can sit through anything, I think. So I'll just sit the way I am and see what happens.
I sold in April when I moved my 401K to Vanguard. It's almost 40% of my investments and it's sitting in a money market fund while I sit on the fence. The more bad news we get the more the market goes up. Somebody needs to make up my mind, cause I don't know what to do.
Yeah-- in April. Took some profits off the table already and sold a few more calls to those who think the market will be up in August.Sell in May and go away !
