It never is, or definitely not since 1929.

Again, I don't do individual stocks; my advisor puts me in and out of funds as he deems appropriate. I've had him for around 20 years at this point and I have more money than ever. We recently increased my take from those investments.

And I know what you mean about not having decades to recover. I'm trombones years old, and I'm constantly telling people about my plans for my 97th birthday. And yes, pulling away if you think a crash is coming IS timing the market.

There were people here who announced as soon as Trump was elected that they were getting completely out of the market. Hope that's going well for them.

And yes, we always have a recession when a President has the R after his name. Always. So it is just a matter of time in that.
