l too felt markets would hold up until the US election was over. l still think they will as investors over the last 15 years have been trained to buy the dip. l can see another 10% sell off, the FED bring in the cavalry and the market buying into Powel put, yet again. Naturally , data will impact response and emotion and could come into play if employment falls off a cliff. When we get the correction that we deserve, of the 30% plus variety, l believe there will be no safe haven other than cash. Absolutely everything will be sold off. While l am currently aggressively buying a few favourites in currently out of favour sectors, am keeping a close hold onto my 10% cash reserve, a rather large nominal amount. l am looking for a bounce to give me a selling opportunity, but if it does not come, l sleep pretty comfortably at night anyway. In the short-term Cash provides that better than anything else. It is a stretch asset rather than a long term one. GLTASH

After selling RED I am now around 40% cash and 20% hybrids and battening down. Still probably have too much in gold, copper, and fossil fuels but I generally buy what I know. Also a few blue chips to keep the missus happy.
