Please read the above advice! In 2008, I saw the crash coming. I got tipped off, kind of: My bank was NetBank and it was the first one to fail. I pulled all my money out of stocks and sat out the crash. Brilliant, right? Yeah, except in 2010, I didn't re-invest it! I sat on a lot of cash and missed out on tons of gains. So while I preserved my wealth (and that was dicey because Money Markets nearly collapsed and that's where all my "cash" was). Had I stayed invested I would have taken some paper losses but I would have come out further ahead by now. My one concern is that these markets are just pretend bs because of QE and the effects money printing has had on all assets.
