But, even so, there are those who choose to remain completely in cash because that is what lets them sleep at night. And, of course, there is the combination decision that is like having a moat.

The media must fill that 24/7 great maw with babble. We can find any opinion we want. But, the bottom line is your own opinion. Know thyself.

I call it the sleep factor.
