CASH (CASH)
Jul 26, 2026, 12:00 amThis summary was created by AI, based on 6 opinions in the last 12 months.
The reviews from various experts highlight a cautious approach toward maintaining cash positions amid market uncertainty. Many experts suggest that as breadth deteriorates, raising cash becomes essential to mitigate risks and capitalize on buying opportunities once the market stabilizes. Comments reflect a belief that while holding cash may seem detrimental due to inflation eroding its value, it provides flexibility and optionality in a market that is experiencing corrections. The sentiment indicates that a firm stance on cash can lead to strategic investments when the environment becomes favorable, particularly looking for fundamentally sound investments. Overall, experts emphasize the importance of quantitative measurements and historical market trends in guiding their decisions around cash allocation, indicating a mixed sentiment toward the stock moving forward.
(A Top Pick June 12/17.) He is holding about 35% of his holdings in cash, which is a little on the high side.
Keith RichardsThere are overbought conditions on the NASDAQ, and there are diverging momentum indicators. The momentum is slowing down even though it is making new highs, and that is a danger signal. The 2 weakest months in the whole year are August and September. He is holding 35% in cash, which is above his historical average, because the leading sector, the FANGs, are so overbought.
Keith RichardsFor people who are comfortable Shorting, he would have no problem recommending Shorting a broader ETF of equity markets. Thinks we are in for about a 30% downdraft in equities over the next 12-18 months.
James HodginsHe is 36% cash. He is cautious. He does not sell everything, but he under weights stocks. He could get to 40% cash.
Keith Richards(A Top Pick Sept 6/16.) Currently he is very bearish, so is sitting with negative energy ETF’s and cash.
Josef SchachterThere is nothing wrong with raising a little bit of cash at this time. This will give you opportunities when other sectors do well in the summertime and you will be able to fund them.

It is reckless to not have some cash on the side. We know that in the summer and fall we have some kind of correction, and it is a good time to have some cash on the sidelines, ready to strike when the time is right.
