Does it ever make sense to ditch stocks and move to cash?

Some investors and advisors have been increasing cash positions in their portfolios in anticipation of continued volatility and falling prices. With an inverted yield curve — when longer-term interest rates fall below short-term rates — suggesting that a recession could be looming, exactly where the market goes from here is anyone's guess.

"There can be value in holding cash, but it should be part of a larger plan, not because you're running for the hills," said CFP Erika Safran, founder of Safran Wealth Advisors in New York. "The average investor would tell you that their objective would be to sell at the peak and buy back in at a much lower point," Robbins said. "However, in practice, the vast majority of clients who try to time the market will sell based on fear and wait until they feel less fearful to buy back in.And, there is inflationary risk that comes with cash.

Yea if u can't sleep buy puts in the averages or short the market if u got brass balls. Stocks tend to rally on bullshit, fake news/ tweets, of unbridled optimism.

If you need the money in a few years or less. Otherwise no

real assets vs. fiat assets?

No!!! it's time to buy,the inverted yield curve is caused by foreign investor pouring money into the bond market because they are getting no returns overseas.its time to buy stocks at a discount

Ask Warren Buffet who has moved to a cash position now, just like he did before the Republican Recession Of 2008.

Just stop already.

No, unless one is nearing their retirement years and need the money. Stay invested to get the 10% return. No market timing. Buffett knows best.

Sometimes you have to bail for a little while.

Unless you have a crystal ball, no. That’s how most investors get burned. Studies show the risk is not being in the market when it crashes. The risk is being in cash when it rallies.
