"Don't confuse brains with a bull market." ~ Humphrey Neill
I'm feeling pretty good this year about the growth in our retirement accounts. However, I realize the returns are due primarily to a great bull market, and not because I made brilliant stock picks.
So rather than put more money in the market, I've been taking a wait and see approach. If the market continues to decline, I want to wait until there is at least a 10% correction before adding funds. If the market resumes it's advance, I will continue to take some profits and keep the value of my holdings constant.
So for now, I will continue to wait.
