My understanding is cashed up and waiting for a better opportunity to enter the market.

I always assumed it meant holding cash. Some may hold gold or other items which are meant to hold value regardless of the direction of the sharemarket.

I am sure there are some that just get out of the speculative stocks but hold their long term portfolio and some would be somewhere in between.
