      3/ To back up a bit, you can bet on an individual stock, or the market as a whole, at any degree of leverage (multiplier) from, say, -10 to +10. To get +10 you borrow money and buy stocks. To get +1 you buy stocks. To get 0, you stay in cash >>>https://twitter.com/BonbonFork/status/1230600252157243393 …

      So the idea is that markets could go down a lot and money kept in retirement account would get devalued? But you don't know what will happen so don't want to loose interest on all money if everything goes okay (i.e. not catastrophic disruption after Corona) ?

      To get -1, you short a stock. To get -N, you borrow money and ... So anyway, I had $X in index funds. i.e. my bet was 1x re the market. I'm still bullish long term, but concerned short term. So I went from 1x to 0.5x.

      6/ @ByrneHobart makes a much more compelling argument for doing EXACTLY THAT by talking about "camel distributions".

      7/ There have certainly been a few periods where the multi-decade compounded return on the market have been < 0, clustering around the Great Depression. But I'm not getting out of the market, nor am I staying out for very long. Just reducing exposurehttps://twitter.com/tom_hynes/status/1230602133331828736 …

      I am guessing you are about 40. Goal of retirement is to die before your money runs out, call it 90, or you have 50 year horizon. Over what 50 year period has it been better to be in cash than SP500, after inflation and dividends? What is longest period cash > SP500?

      Index funds are indices for a reason. Seems like it would be more prudent to leave it there and sell any individual stocks you have. Also...if it's a formal IRA, I'm guessing you'll take a tax hit too.
