Why are you guys only talking about stocks listed on the NYSE?

If you all want to get out of dollars, I'd be investing in dividend stocks/funds not pegged in USD.

Pump and Dump?

What do you all think, get out on 12/17 before holiday break? or do we go higher after the new year?

I can't recall any year in the past 15 where a strategy of dumping all of your stocks before the end of the year would have worked out in your favor. (2001, maybe??)

Late November through February are traditionally good for nice rally in stocks.(Although 2009 had an awful end-of-February because of a confluence of a number of one-time economic and political events...)

Does anyone do any index fund or bond/etf investing in here? Or just individual stocks?

I do a little of everything. In my 'retail' account I have all individual stocks (10-20 usually). In tax deferred accounts I have primarily index funds and a smaller allocation of fixed income securities (actual securities, not funds). Not a huge fan of mutual funds although I understand their purpose.

Calling that a strategy is probably pushing it.
