Anyone else taking profit and sitting the cash on the side? Getting a little nervous.

Credit card debt is rising, mortgage delinquency is ticking up, car loan delinquency has been rising. Mortgage refi rejection rate at highest ever. UBS says 93% chance of recession.

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a lot of trading account winners to play it safe.


And before anyone goes ranting about timing the market, this is not a retirement account.

Market sentiment has been driving stocks down.

Earnings have been positive.

In my opinion, we’re in a short term correction but will be higher at 12/31.

Markets get frothy and these periodic settlements are just markets doing there thing

Attempting to time the market is only discouraged for retirement accts?

Inflation could wipe out cash value.

I am up over 100% on several holdings. Taking profits seem prudent.

The money will be used for another investment in the near term, it is not staying in the market.

Ok. So are you selling because you’re spooked by all the things you listed in the OP or because your picks have peaked? You’ve provided both reasons as well as implying you’re trying to make good on a timing bet. You’ll get different answers depending on the real motivation.

What are the stocks? And what will you use the proceeds for?

I’m not selling anything, but I have recently been saving a cash pile for the first time in years.

Good. We need buyers to keep the prices up.

That’s why we have a market
