Reply to @Old_Joe: All positions are relative ... Lots of money's been made by those who were heavily invested in March 09 - a time when many were still running for cover. I jigger cash a bit - but have a 25% "cap" beyond which won't raise it, unless the equity markets really go ballistic - don't believe we've reached that "La-La-Land" stage yet, though think we're overdue for a correction. The 25% cash position is about equally split between a ultra-short and DODIX (which we all know isn't really cash), and cash held by balanced funds and the like isn't included in the total. Like I said - it's all relative based on one's needs, age, temperament & how they were positioned when this bull began. "Lock em up" ain't intended just for bad guys. Can apply to profits as well. (-: Take care there OJ.
