I will tell you this much. I have moved massive amounts of money (for me anyway) three times. Each time relative to an election. Sore/Loserman. Moved 100K out of mutual funds to cash. All at once. Avoided a 40% drop. Second time, 50% drop. Missed me entirely. Then I made $1,000 an ounce on Obama. I never timed a market, just elections.

well it does sound like you DO try to time the market. Just curious - what percent of your funds are in stocks now and what percentage were in stocks over the last five years?
