Eventually I'll move monies back into stocks, but for now, I'm just treading water. Of course, I'm not a spring chicken anymore (except in bed, or so my wife of 38 years tells me), so even when I move back into the market, it'll be in a fairly conservative position.

A word of advice: Index funds.... over time, almost no one beats the market, of which index funds are tied.
