...when you know what you're doing, that is. And just like learning how to fly, anyone can learn how to do it.

Look, my point is simple.

RBS, Goldman, and a host of other investment pros are telling anyone who will listen to go to cash. Now. They were correct in 2008 when they last issued warnings as grave as they are today.

There are reams of excellent info as to why you should go to 100% cash that is available for anyone who chooses to look for it. Furthermore, RBS, Goldman, etc. are not in the business of giving bad advice, otherwise they'd be out of business pretty quick.

If you don't think the global and US markets aren't going into a major correction (or worse), for whatever reason, fine. I'm simply trying to warn anyone willing to listen that now is an excellent time to go to 100% cash and wait a year before jumping back in.

In the end, I really don't care. Just some free advice with demonstrable proof that I actually know what I'm talking about. I'm simply offering solid, experienced investment advice backed up by historical example and proof of my knowledge (if not my math skills).

Take it or ignore it. Either way I'm cool with that. Now you'll please excuse me...my tin foil hat needs adjusting.
