I have but only with my Kiwisaver. Mainly because I don't want to miss out on the stock discounts. I believe that the Fed signaling they want to increase interest rates regularly is a clear indication we are about to hit the end of the cycle. If History repeats they will overshoot with the interest rate hikes and hence trigger a crash. But that will be at least a years worth of Hikes I believe. I just don't want to miss it.
In saying that I still have 7K in stocks outside of KiwiSaver invested in Stocks. Being a Newby to share trading I'm using it to learn how to manage and build a portfolio.
Who knows when the cycle will end but the IMF is now joining the crackpots I read on Zero hedge.

Just in the process of re-weighting our portfolio to a much more conservative stance - will wait it out and jump back in at the appropriate time but still have some short term share holdings for play time :)
Are you for real? So in the last 9 years the market has moved up by between 100-200% depending on which market and metrics. So you need a 60% + correction to even break even. That is never going to happen. Maybe being in the market rather than timing the market is still the wise thing to do?
