Barron's - The Bull's Last Stand

Good article by Ben Levisohn at Barrons - food for thought.

I found this paragraph of the article to be particularly salient in light of the current market.

"If nothing else, it’s time for investors to think about the types of companies they own, and to begin shifting away from the riskiest and most indebted toward those better-positioned to withstand a downturn. And while it may reduce short-term returns, there’s nothing wrong with holding a little extra cash to tamp down a portfolio’s volatility and deploy when stocks do fall. Because the market always falls, eventually."

Bull fighting can be dangerous.  The key is to not get gored.
