I was in target date funds in January of 2009 before everything crashed. I sold in March of 2009 and bought Financial and Insurance Select Funds because I thought they would have a bigger bounce back. They have and then some. I also took some liquid cash money and bought Citigroup at about $1.00/share, GE at 8.00/share, and BAC at $4.00/share. My only regret with hindsight being 20/20 is not doing more.
I also had alot of LVS at about $100/share when it was "supposed" to go to $200. It got down to below to $10 and I dollar cost averaged over the next year and finally sold for $23/share and ended up having a decent gain. Wife was pissed of course while I was in the red on that trade.
