[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been nervous about the markets being frothy the last year and now have way more than i'd like in money market funds.

Anyone in a similar boat?  What are you planning to to?!

Well, you missed a great year of returns then.

Market timing is a losing strategy. [/quote]Last year is not this coming year though. Our economy has added a net of zero jobs since June, ZERO.  It takes about 100k per month to keep the unemployment rate from  growing. Other indicators are pointing to us already being in a recession. [/quote]

People have been saying this for the last several years or even longer.  So if you took their advice to sit on the sidelines then - look at what you missed out on.   You have no idea what will happen, which is why you should dollar cost average in to the market and play the long game.

The stock market will go down at some point.  And then it will go back up to new highs.  No one knows anything except performance over the long run is fantastic.  The banks are pretty bullish on next year. Their opinion is as valid as your opinion, maybe slightly moreso.

Why try and time the market based on your (likely politically motivated) biases?
