RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Happy New Year My friends and I talked about that strategy for holding hockey pool funds :) It's a good one.
I don't use it with this. I'm not saying it's a bad strategy, but I still don't go to cash. My cash is selling from one to the other when I want to buy more of something, or something new. Hopefully risk is suitably spread--i repeat hopefully lol, so that even when the market is going down and I'm still in and maybe it's not working, the general gains of full investment outperform putting a portion in a broker interest account instead at ~3.8%. When the market goes down, I also try and move chunks to the performers... something is almost always performing or looking like it might take a leg up. i don't want to sound like I'm that active because i'm not, but it's a scaleable model.
Like i said, a good strategy you have, arguably safer. And you're really only holding the money out for 2-3 weeks at a time, or around 3 months in a year.
