Sold all stocks in my retirement portfolio. I'm holding cash until all this blows over.
mahjongmi, Victor Panlilio, Glenn Collins and 15 other people liked this
Leo, I'm in the market for the long term so am holding. I didn't invest in fly by night funds or companies, so why would I get out now? I plan to hold for long term.
- Rod Bauer
from twhirl
Yep knew this was coming, after TWIT the "Disciplined Investor" recommended this. Lots of opportunity still in the market. Solid investing means the long haul.
- michael sean wright
You guys assume Leo has time for the 'Long Haul' to recover :)
- Johnny Worthington
Problem is, that cash is losing value just like the stocks. Your foundation should be built of something other than money.
- ComicList
Should he trade the money in for gold? :P
- Kevin Vinck
wise move... this financial mess is getting worse...freaky
- Susan Beebe

- Rod Bauer
from twhirl
I think you are right and should hold some liquidity until things settle down. The market is too emotional, but deals will be abound. Flight to quality.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
I hope Leo consulted his financial advisor first. Mine told me to hang tight.
- Pete Delucchi
It's now a buyer's market. You can probably pick up some good bargains. Just make sure you don't put all your eggs in one basket :)
- imabonehead
Gold is okay for now, but even it is going to lose its value.
- ComicList
Leo, go buy a macbook so the new ones will be released already! You should hold for a few more months so things can get better and sell in Feb when it's starting to pick up... you are selling at the bottom! WTF?
- Trevor Pressman
Cash may be losing some value, but not like stocks. How can some of you say this is the bottom, especially some of those stocks. The bottom is likely yet to come. Gold may seem cliched, but it is a safe place when all else goes in the tank. Gold related companies as well.
- Eric @ CSTechcast.com
I've deliberately not looked at our portfolios since everything starting hitting the shitter. I trust our money people...though I suppose I should call and at least make sure they've not offed themselves.
- abacab
Oh, this is not the bottom. The bottom is coming, and it's going to be much worse than we are seeing now.

Is it going to crash more than the penalty for selling stocks in 401k? That's what I want to know.

staying invested...riding this baby out. a whole mess of ugliness ahead, but I've never been good at timing the market. i can't touch it for 30 years anyway. ;)
- cjmart
Isn't the fact that the stock market is become like it is BECAUSE people are just selling all their stocks? Sorry if I've got it wrong.... but I thought that's kinda the cause of everything,
- Chris Gilmore
from twhirl
Hope you don't miss the upswing and end up buying back in above your sell prices...
- Steve Lacey
Wish I'd learned this a lot earlier: Never. Sell. Assets. (unless you plan to actually use the money) I'm not selling a thing this time around.
- Ray Grieselhuber
Leo: you are always on KGO Radio. Did Bob Brinker recommend you do such a thing? That dude is ALWAYS right. I don't know how he does it, but he's called nearly every up and down in the past 20 years that I've been listening pretty damn accurately. He also usually gives sound advice like "don't sell all at once, but dollar cost average." Doing stuff like that keeps you from reacting emotionally at the wrong times and keeps you from trying to totally time the market, like what you're doing here.
- Robert Scoble
Selling low?
- Mike Doeff
I have what investment cash I have in Prosper.com, earning an average of 15% to 19%, and small amounts in sharebuilder.com (very small). I prefer investing in microlending where there's a long-term almost certain return...
- Justin Long
Prosper looks cool. I wouldn't put ALL my cash there (or at least in a single loan) but I would consider putting some of it there.
- Ray Grieselhuber
I put in a set amount a month on automatic disbursement, and I am using one of prosper's automatic portfolio selectors that divides investments up amongst different grades of risk, at $50/loan. So its *very* diversified. I've been in well over a year and even with the inevitable losses that of some loans going bad, I *still* average between 15% and 19% return at any given moment. I can't say enough good things about Prosper.
- Justin Long
Sell low buy high?
- Steve Rubel
Sold some positions but because I am in the market for the long term, I am still investing in stocks
- Rajiv Doshi
My 401k lost 10k :(
- Ari Braginsky
Just wondering. Have you started buying any stocks? Is the bear market over? Probably still a bear market rally?
- mahjongmi
and is it all stuffed in the mattress?!
- Shivanand Velmurugan
if you'd said that in December or January you could've bought back today at a huge discount - the same will be said in 4 months time - check Gold going to 1300$ while you hold and wait
- Nicholas Paul Gordon
Check the date. I moved to cash on 9/22 (about $70,000 off the low for me) and bought back in (no load index funds primarily) when the Dow was at 8,000. Hope I didn't do it too early!
- Leo Laporte
Leo... Why would you do such a thing? You never sell low after buying high. You must be an Obama voter.
- Paul L. McCord Jr.

There's a lot of loyalty. I always hear, once a Subaru owner, always a Subaru owner. *shrug* I like mine since it's safe, handles really well, and has all wheel drive. I assume this case is no different from someone driving a Honda, ricing it out and proud of it.

I've also asked Google to support OPML, to allow people to search inside OPML hierarchies, and when they find something in one, allow people to navigate them the way they use the Yahoo directory, or Amazon.

Um, they're both right and Palin handled herself very well.

Not sure why you lefties are so fixated on playing 'gotcha' with Palin. It's small-minded and sad.
- Rob Sterling
@Rob I'm not sure it can ever be a "mistake" to voice an intention to invade a country and kill other people. You're comparing errors that are either factual or slip of the tongue to a declaration to end lives. How are those even remotely comparable?
- Soup
@Soup If you actually knew what you were talking about we would be doing good. The thing is if you have talked to someone who is actually in Afghanistan, you would know we do need to stop them from coming over the border. We also need to quit acting like Pakistan is on our side. When Palin said we need to do this she was right. The problem is all of you are Democratic hacks and will follow Barrack in whatever he says. If the media was doing its job then it would of done the same to Obama and Biden.
- Ryan Ellerbe
@Soup part 2 - You see Obama was running around the country saying he was for clean coal, but Biden was saying they were against more clean coal plants. So hmmmm that is wierd.
- Ryan Ellerbe
@Ryan, Next time you look into your crystal ball to determine who I have and haven't spoken to I suggest you pay a bit more attention. I have several family members posted in Afghanistan, some for multiple tours of duty. After you're done ball gazing you might want to try re-watching the clip for some context so you have some clue as to what the hell this discussion is even about. Here's a free hint, it's not about IF we should be going over borders its about if a statement was made ABOUT going over borders

Steve: Speaking only for myself. Like is just to draw attention to the post not necessarily that I am happy he has passed.

I'm sure he's having a blast on the other side. Perhaps I'll ask some psychic friends to check on him...

Ive read this 3 times now, but it still hurts my head a little. Interesting stuff Allen in terms of the divide.
- Duncan Riley
Good piece. I personally find myself coming down on the people side which is what I'm building into Gridjit as the primary focus. There is lots of good content, however, that comes from organizations also so I'm working on ways to resolve the two more cleanly.
- Ray Grieselhuber
Duncan - "hurts your head" should be reserved in all cases for gilmor content :-P
- Allen Stern
As you said, the divide is the reason we have FriendFeed and Strands (and any other site like these). People have different viewpoints.

Give this thing a name. It needs some love.

I'm now using E to add friends to my Twitter account. More info on http://hellomynameise.com
Uh, annoying that they post without even notifying me, to my own account.

Why in the world do my Vimeo faves keep showing up as fresh in my FF stream??? It's happened three times in the last couple of days, and I'm getting fed up with it.

My understanding is Vimeo updated something in how they present their RSS, so old favs are showing up for everyone.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
http://friendfeed.com/e... has more information. We're sorry for any issues it's caused.
- Benjamin Golub
I've noticed the same thing too. Glad there is an explanation. Thanks, Benjamin.
- Ray Grieselhuber
I have had exactly the same thing occur...
- Joe Dawson
It happens when somone else "likes" the item. Whenever an item gets "liked" by someone, it floats back up to the top of the feed.

I meant to say it "also" happens - that's not the only thing in Vimeo's case, though.

I deleted the re-runs when they came up and I hid the ones from other people's feeds, hoping that they won't reappear again. At least that gets rid of the noise.
- Mike Boudreaux
I understood when it happened the first time, but then it happened again, and again, and again, and no, no one had liked any of the items recently, they just showed up as fresh items in my stream.
- Raoul Pop
I noticed a similar problem in my RSS feed in Google Reader too. I got blasted both here and there.
- Mike Boudreaux
Raoul, Vimeo keeps changing their GUIDs, so the entries keep looking new. I've disabled the Vimeo crawl for now to stop this problem.
- Paul Buchheit
I noticed that in FF last night too. It's also happening with their blog post in GoogleReader. Their posts are the kind that just keep on giving ... over and over and over and over again ...
- Beebo Wallace
Thank you Paul.

For those of you who use a startpage like Netvibes or iGoogle: what type of widgets do you use most? Simple RSS boxes or are there others that you use a lot? How many different tabs / screens do you maintain and how many do you actually check?
I'll start by answering my own questions: I use iGoogle. I primarily use the simple RSS widgets, with a few interactive ones: gmail, Periscope, google reader, google calendar, to do list, and that's about it. Everything else is RSS.
- Ray Grieselhuber
Nobody?
- Ray Grieselhuber
RSS Boxes in tabs under different topics - about 16 per tab. Social tab - interactive social profiles, communication tab - with gtalk, msn embedded, several sites embedded as well, like techmeme.
- Sasha Kovaliov(.com)
I've got 3 tabs with lots different content (RSS,GMail,Gmaps,Ping.FM,....), but the only widget i use theese days is the FriendFeed one
