On a serious note. I consider any so called market timing I do as tweaking. I don't call going from fully invested to 60-70% invested and back to fully invested over 6 month periods as market timing.

Market timing the way I used it is pretty much any kind of speculating on the market going up or down for certain time, including 71's version. |

Investing in regional banks has been very good to me over the long term, but I have been light in the last couple years mainly because the interest rate spreads have not been favorable for them. If the Fed starts lowering short-term rates I will start moving aggressively in that direction, but avoid California, Arizona, and maybe Florida. |
