<prompt> Human: If the market doesnt look like its going my way for awhile, I can move everything into a money market and hang out. Rebuy when I want later, up or down. Is this not what people do tho? If markets are dropping rapidly for weeks months, you certainly cant lose MORE by going all cash. right? The worst that could happen is you drastically misjudge the bottom and lose potential gains. Yes, no, maybe?Maybe most people cant move their money around so easily? No other good options during a major fall?EDIT: Holy shit guys, well. I am def a noob and Im happy I asked. Rebalancingholding it is! THANKS PF!  <response>: Im a middle aged guy who rode out the 20089 storm without selling and am pretty happy with the result. If youre not thinking long term and trying to time the market youre almost certainly going to sell too late and wait much too long to get back in.Everyone I know who sold out during the crash is way behind now because they felt burned by the losses they took and didnt start trusting the market until the big run-up this year. Dont expect to avoid that trap if you think the market looked predictable in the past.
