I myself see a big pullback coming in the next six months but I don’t know that I have ever been correct over 45 years. I will put a lot of money in if a 10% pullback comes. I expect you r being prudent depending on how old you are. The thing is, if you’re young, you might as well stick it out and not try to time. He said.

I was speaking of having a CMA. Is it the case that within a CMA one can buy a Fidelity mm fund? If so, are there are any important drawbacks to the CMA? I am finding none but the "lower returns" complaint, solvable istm by being able to buy Fid…
