Default Re: Thoughts on the market sell off

I'm about 95% cash right now and have been since end of '07.

Too many bad things can happen, and precious little good.

Oil - prices - middle east
Terrorism
Iraq
Borders & Immigration
Social Security
Medicare
Jobs
worthless Congress & Presidency

US companies will maintain their financials based on world growth, but the US infrastructure is struggling as I see it.

I may go back into stocks after the first quarter, but.. cautiously.
I'll take a 4 or 5% guaranteed return vs. what??? I'm not greedy

Good luck....
