I even believe it was possible to sell international stocks in 1990 and could be convinced that it was right to sell stocks in the summer of 1987 What is not clear to me is how I should have known to sell in the fall of 2007. Did I have to be on top of real estate issues (I surely wasn't ) Were evaluations crazy (not as I recall)
Again I don't know how to have gotten out in 2011 and then get back in time.
So this is basically how can one market time BIG moves
