I have a similar approach: I typically have ~60% of net worth invested across index funds and tech growth stocks. But I’ve been building my cash position in recent months mostly via sale of said index funds and growth stocks (I was able to dodge the downturn in tech stocks in recent weeks), but also by simply banking funds that would otherwise have been put directly into equities. Now I’m reluctant to reinvest as I see significant risk in the market short term. I don’t intend to remain on the sidelines.
I’m beginning to question the maxim that “you can’t time the market”... sure, you’re unlikely to time the exact top or bottom, but an approximation can result in significant risk reduction and/or upside.
