The time to SELL is now. Let wall street have a taste of their own medicine.
MSN money is nothing but a lobbyist for the 1%'ers
I wonder how much those "financial institutions" paid MSN to run this article (cough AD) so they could sell off their stocks to poor saps who will then sell it back to those same financial institutions once the price of the stock has tanked?
Welllll, I pretty much agree with several posters who suggest going into cash; however, I would also add one caveat: if you have bought a stock a year ago for which you have researched the fundamentals, and if the fundamentals are still valid (but the stock has not reached it's potential), then you might want to hold on to it and monitor it's progress. On the other hand I'd sell anything that is approaching your target prices of a year ago. For example, I had put ~$30,000 into a 4 year "new car fund" last January, which included mostly dividend paying, somewhat "safe" stocks. To date those stocks (Cat +.93%, F +21.9%, CVX +5.3%, ORCL +30.3%, TRW +48.6% and two ETF's: SCHM +11.9% and SCHG +15.6%) have (on balance) done very well; however, I'm selling everything except CAT and CVX. I do believe that CAT and CVX are still undervalued; however, I may end up on the wrong side of that bet---but at least I have limited my exposure. At any rate, that's my strategy, and I may possibly miss a run up in the near future---on the other hand, there is NOTHING wrong with taking a profit. Good luck to all, and be careful out there!

[BRIEFING.COM] The major averages ended modestly lower with the S&P 500 shedding 0.3%.
The benchmark average saw an opening loss of 1.2% after Japan's Nikkei tumbled 7.3%. Japanese stocks sold off amid continued volatility in Japanese Government Bond futures as the 10-yr yield spiked almost 16 basis points to 1.002 before the Bank of Japan's JPY2 trillion liquidity injection caused yields to retrace their gains.
