I sold my shares in a Charles Schwab 1000 Index fund on 1/23/08 and put it in their Money Market Fund. Everybody thought I should just ride it out, but after noticing retail getting slower and slower I decided to sell. Now, instead of being down a shitload of money I'm actually up for the year. Yee Haw!
i transferred mine and the wifes to cash(bonds)2 weeks ago,its gonna get ugly for awhile.
If you got out two weeks ago, you realized what up to that point was a virtual loss.
Frankly, not only am I sitting tight in my index fund positions, I'm tempted to do a little bottom fishing and dollar cost average my way out of the current hole.
