I think that if you own blue chip stocks that are not already overvalued (or that are paying you a nice dividend if that's your thing), it's probably not a good idea to sell out of everything 100% or what have you. You certainly won't go broke taking some profits, of course. But it's probably not a good idea to go overboard. If you find other blue chip stocks that suddenly look like bargains, I see no reason why most of us wouldn't want to buy some. I have no idea where the broad market is headed in the short term. But over the long term, markets go up. And most blue chip stocks do well over time.
Are there any particualr sectors you are looking at? Anything standing out to you? Technology shares are probably a buy on weakness but the FB debacle has not helped sentiment here.
I did buy 20 shares of AMZN in the last week or so. Otherwise, I'm treading lightly with retailers. Nothing else specifically I'm really focusing on in terms of industries or sectors. I do think that the big financials will do well in an increasing interest rate environment, but I'm not going overboard on them.
