If you really think that, then you are missing out by not investing in a short strategy! :P Or, more seriously, remember to consider the opportunity costs! VTI, for example, has a yield of about 2%. Short term bond index funds could be better or worse than that.
- Havoc 11y ago>remember to consider the opportunity costs Problem is the size of the expected drop. If it does drop then I'd imagine a good 30-50% much like 2008. So quite aware that I'd be losing out on gains for a while. Its all guesswork though - the "right" move requires timing the market as you say. My gut feeling tells me its dicey though so I'm leaning towards losing out on gains for a while.
