Hi Conrad

50 / 50 will never be the best but it is "enough" or an average.

Since you used the S+P 500 in your example, what was the drop from January 2000 to the low in 2003 and the more recent drop from its high in 2006 ? to the recent low in 2007 ?

I believe if you started at the top or had less than 50% cash at the top you would not have been able to buy at the bottom.

Because I was too aggressive I was not able to buy to the bottom of the recent downturns and I willing to go to 80% cash going forward if AIM selling allows.If I want 50% cash to be my "AVERAGE" to have as I AIM going forward taking in to account my age (late 50's) . I may move some of that cash in to fixed income. Maybe another way to shoot myself in the foot
