RE: Beginning to take profits on the S&P 500 index So your strategy is to engage in market timing? Do you know with 100% certainty that we are not in the midst of a period of large economic growth and a 5 year bull run?
That would be hilarious if you pulled all of your money off the table and were never able to get back in.
Personally, my strategy is to build a diversified based of assets, re-invest the dividends and keep funneling my savings into stocks as they arrive which averages all of my entry points throughout the years.
