At this time, I would never consider taking money out of the market. (This assumes that one is holding good quality stocks.) What about CDs and bonds? Low rates of return are giving a strong signal to stay away, in my opinion.

Preservation of wealth in the short and long haul.

If you get into CDs or bonds now, for preservation of wealth, when would you plan on getting back in the market? Ever? Would you be waiting for the next market crash or bear market? If so, you might be waiting for 3 or 4 years. No one knows for sure but I believe it would be at least a few years away. Meanwhile, the value of your money would be eroding due to inflation.
And if inflation steps up it's pace, it could be a serious problem.
No investment is ever 100% safe. Example: If interest rates go up, which they will at some point, bond prices will fall.
You might consider some quality stocks that pay good dividends and which also stand to appreciate in price as the market goes up.
Good luck!
