I've moved a lot into cash as of 2017. If I had stayed more in the market I might have made a bunch, but hard to time markets. Never know when something really big might happen. So I sleep better with cash.
Been thru a lot of down turns and from what I've learned from study on the Great Depression, cash is king. Every thing gets cheap and time to buy.
