Since I write so many posts on here, I wanted to let you the reader in on my investing strategy and exactly what I try to accomplish. When I manage my portfolio as well as others portfolios my main goal is to beat the market over the long run. I fully believe that the equities market is the place to be over the long run and statistics have proven that. Certainly there are times when I want to cut back my exposure in stocks and invest either in money market accounts, CD's, or bonds. I find it is always a good idea to keep a small amount of cash in the investment portfolio as well, in case you find a good value and need the cash quickly. It is very rare for my portfolios to ever get above 25% cash, since I believe in the long-term bull market. 
Though many have gone into daytrading, I am a long-term investor. Daytrading is something that most fail at, and I believe that most people are better off sticking to fundamental investing. I do rarely make a short-term trade based on upcoming events, but even these positions I generally hold at least a few days. The majority of my portfolios are invested in positions that I have held for more than one year, and that is exactly how I want my portfolio to be.
