I am not selling, just going into cash like I always do.....my conviction 

What are you going into cash from, if it isn't selling?

mrlegend123

bank account.... buying into money markets.....no selling.......

So that's staying in cash rather than going into cash then....

mrlegend123

no it's going into cash if you invest monthly, lump sums etc.... why this is so hard...dear me.....

I am riding out the potential storm over the summer with high inflation and high CAPE US markets and not selling current investments and buying into the money markets....
If you watched bloomberg and listened to economists lately, they are saying stay in cash for now....i don't care what you are doing but that's my current strategy!

lol, there are two mistakes: watching bloomberg and listening to economists (it's funny because it's true! )

And, more seriously: CAPE has some predictive power for returns over periods of perhaps 10 years or so. It has zero predictive power for periods such as "over the summer".

OK... High inflation over the summer resulting in lower US markets by the end of the year.

I rather listen to them than people on here.... arm chair experts!

When the S and P 500 is at an all-time high, it is time to stockpile cash.......inflation or not 
People who think the markets will go to the moon are crazy....buy the dip, correction or crash

Being at an all-time high is not a reason in itself to stockpile cash - markets are frequently at or close to all-time highs and you'd miss out on much of a markets gains if you refused to invest just because they've reached an all-time high.

Wrong when you use CAPE, the markets work in cycles. No-one invests at the top with high CAPE - mad. 

If no one invested when CAPE  was high, markets would fall and CAPE would be low. So someone - an awful lot of people - ARE investing.

Herds move en masse. Psychology of investing. Being a contrarian investor is never an easy task. Someone has to move first though. Patience is a useful attribute.
