after the 2008 dip we put enough cash into annuities so that we never had to worry again about where our next hot dog was coming from

I recall one of my doctors equating keeping his retirement money in the stock market as akin to betting in a casino

we have a mixed portfolio...actually more complex than I wanted...but it works for us

we actually believe that things will eventually come back....and we've been cherry picking some nice stocks lately that we believe will weather this storm

it all comes down to how much risk you're willing to take...and how much free cash you actually have
