This summary was created by AI, based on 6 opinions in the last 12 months.

The experts discuss the current market conditions and the strategic importance of maintaining a cash position. With the potential for a recession and a market drawdown, some suggest increasing cash reserves, while others maintain a relatively low cash position, emphasizing the importance of breadth in the market. Cash is viewed as a double-edged sword—while it may seem unproductive to hold in inflationary times, it provides flexibility to invest when market conditions improve. The 'Bear-o-meter' is highlighted as a valuable tool for assessing risk, indicating that the market currently reflects a high-risk environment. Experts suggest a cautious approach and a focus on fundamentally sound investments as they navigate through the current market turbulence.

New accounts are at 50% cash. If the markets hold their 50-day moving average, despite all the bad news is coming, this will be a clear indication that markets want to go much higher. At that time, he will probably start investing in stages.

(A Top Pick March 26/08. No change.) This is his hedge. If the market does what he thinks it is likely to do, you had better not be fully invested. For his conservative clients he runs about 60% and for more aggressive clients it would be about 50%.
