5. You can flip a coin depending on who you talk to...

I like earlier post that since markets been going good for quite some time, probably would be a very good thing to take some money off the table. Can't go up forever eh?

You can get back in if opportunities open up again. At least you have the cash and no worries if markets do go down. Otherwise stay in. If you are questioning, then perhaps you've asked and answered your own question already.

My disclaimer...I'm no longer in markets, haven't been recently. Cash is king for me for now, and I do feel better, not worrying about anything.
