Out of the Pool Please

Looks like the NASDAQ is going to end 9 or 10 straight weeks of gains. The Dow is going to have it's second losing week in the same time span. SELL ALL GROWTH STOCKS! (That means non-dividend payers.) Good gains are over until November.

Frustration

Here's the most frustrating thing about market gains and losses: selling investment positions. If there is a gain recorded there is a tax liability. If there is a loss there is a loss. Can't win! There are no losses or gains until there is a liquidation. But how to lock in gains without liquidation? That is impossible.
Still, the stock market has worked for 75 years. What else has done that? Not I, for one.
I think that the only answer is an unlimited time horizon, (or) perpetuation of lineage (or species, therefor).

Whoopee Cushion

Hey, don't get carried away yet. Sure, buy good dividend (sustainable dividend) stocks which are cheap but...
Remember when we were going to freak-out if the Dow went down to 10,000? Now everyone is pleased as punch to see it at 8300. Strange animals we are. You've still been punched as pleased since late 2007. Remember that and use prudence. September or October will tell the true story.
