Assume 4-6% pa growth and 20-30% drop in price during the crash, it will take 3-4 yrs for the price to recover.

Instead of wasting the 3-4 years for the price to recover, won't it be better if I sell out before the crash, put that money in FD etc. That is, a positive net gain during the 3-4 years.

Nobody knows when the stock market will it be crashing. It was mentioned that 2018 would crash and some investor has started cashing out the early 2018. smile.gif

Minimise the expose like @MeToo said, might be a good options.

No one can predict the exact day or even month for the crash. But bad signs are there now. If not for the QE, crash would be here much earlier.

I got out 1-2 years before the crash in 2007. Though I could have made a bit more if I didnt get out that early, no regret for my decision.  biggrin.gif
