I posted this in another thread.
I've said it for a while now. Investors that got burned holding back in 2000-2002 will not hang around this time. Everyone I know has moved out of stocks in their retirement accounts. They held for 2 1/2 years the last time and it made them sick. This time they aren't waiting around. Buy and hold is how your grandpoppy made his retirement money. Knowing when to step aside is how to hold onto a few bucks for retirement these days.
Maybe the fundamentals didn't show a bear market coming but the S&P chart sure did.
Im averaging in in my retirement account like 8% more in equities every 600 pts or so (so like every 48 hrs haha). If it doesnt work Im stockpiling canned goods and ammunition as a hedge
