Andrew,
Do you see the DOW going from 20,000 to 10,000 during 2017?
I stopped putting monthly contributions in equity funds for
retirement and are sending them along with the entire fund into
a MM type secure fund. I did this anticipating a massive correction or even a 25-35% correction and then dump it all back in buying shares cheap and making monthly contributions into buying even cheaper shares. I see the current levels and see a sizable correction or 2000/2008 crash and then buy the equities shares on clearance sale. Thoughts? Thank you Andy!

Hi, Todd,
My only worry there, is what happens if they halt redemptions from the money market funds? There was at least one that did that back in ’08 http://www.marketwatch.com/story/money-market-fund-breaks-the-buck-freezes-redemptions
And here are the new rules at Fidelity:
“During periods of extraordinary market stress, institutional and retail prime and municipal funds will have the ability to charge liquidity fees, payable to the funds upon redemption, or temporarily halt redemptions by applying redemption “gates.””

I am doing some of what you are doing, I am just saying that you should ponder if you want to do that with 100% of your portfolio.
