Fwiu.... Not sure BG is shorting the market, just sitting out to enter at a supposedly better time. TBD.

Happy Friday...
Nope not shorting the market... retirement fund is up 9% (managed by the pros) and my trading account is still up 2% for the year being mostly in bonds.

23 days.

BG, you really just need to DCA into an S&P500 index fund!

Well who's going to admit to listening and acting on bad trading advice AFTER the fact? Additionally, all the reasons he listed for a market crash are history now and the negative effects to the market have already passed. Something new, major and unforeseen would have to happen at this point to crash that much. So unless a giant meteor strikes earth within a few weeks its safe to say things aren't going to crash to his predicted level. And even BG can't predict giant meteors.

What pro is managing your retirement fund because I wouldn't be happy with those returns? Mine are predominantly in indexes and are returning 21% ytd through self manage. I don't do anything exotic, just ignore the noise and continue to dollar cost average in.
