[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basically my entire point is that yeah does it make sense to leave your portfolio alone for years. Yes. Boglehead 101.

However, I can also see that now is not a great time AT ALL for stocks because of a plethora of reasons and literally clicking a button to move into G is all it take to stave off the massive losses of the last few weeks. If there is CREDIBLE and VERIFIABLE evidence that things have calmed internationally, then I’m all in back to C fund mixed with I fund. Until then, the sidelines in G are beautiful. The market is going to continue to go red days. Once I’ve seen enough value loss and stock market days down I’m going to buy back in and have a sht ton more shares that when I sold two weeks ago.[/quote]

What makes you think you can outperform the stock market? Have you done this in the past? If so, over what period of time?[/quote]

They haven't and in for a rude awakening. I'm absolutely not cheer-leading the current market, but I do at least have 30 years of experience to see what happens to people who think they are perfect market timers. They never mention all the gains they missed out on or when they panic sell at the absolutely worst time. [/quote]
