My 401k is up about $97k since Jan 1, but is down about $45k from it's all-time high, which was in late Feb or early March, I think?
I sold everything in my brokerage account yesterday. Took my profits and went home PGR and Ford were good to me.
Sounds like you did well. Selling everything is a big move. Even if the market goes down a few percent in the next couple months, most people can't get back in fast enough (calling the bottom) and miss most of the initial move to the upside. Research shows that most of the yearly gains are made on only a few days, and if you were out those days, you underperform for the year. Most people.
