Wow…Just for the record…That is in no way me…

  Here is the preface...this is a joke. Just wanted to avoid the inevitable firefight. With that said, here is the joke:   It's is always about you in some way, wind.   [quote=Ron 14]

If by trying on "numerous occasions" you mean once, then you would be correct. I am not going through it all again, but basically I was explaining to the guy that although he timed the market this time, it doesn't make sense to develop a financial plan around his own instincts.

[/quote]   As for building a financial plan around "instincts", there was a lot of data out there that was very, very foreboding before the market went nuclear. My point is that I believe it is my job to try and understand it. Can this person do it again? Don't know, but I do know that the reasons for making the moves that this person made seemed sound. There were plenty of people that saw it coming, and they weren't just the constant doomsdayers.
