Should I sell all my domestic stocks right now and keep the international stuff?
I've got several friends that have gotten out of the market altogether as they believe the impending recession will hammer stocks so badly that they'll be better off waiting for the drop and then rebuying. My portfolio is fairly heavily weighted in international funds and etf's and I'm thinking of keeping those and dumping the domestic funds and etf's. Anyone have any insight?

who knows? International is probably also correlated to the US. Will the lack of us consumption crimp market in Asia, Europe, etc. I think so. If you are really scared, cash is king these days. tba.

International funds have been doing great in the last couple of years with the falling dollar. I don't know if we can expect the dollar to tumble much more. England started interest rate cuts and it is expected that the EU will make some in 2008. If that is the case, a switch now will be bad timing.

I have switched some of my portfolio to secure bonds to hedge against a falling market. That probably would be a good move. You very rarely will want to dump everything, because you probably won't time the re-entry very well, so you'll miss out on potential gain.

When a recession hits, you don't want to be international either, because other companies still feel the rath of an American recession. Where you want to be is in American companies(because of the reliability and stable growth) that have international exposure, so you can still be part of the global growth stories. I use www.thewallstreethunter.com they are a small group but have a really good track record for picking good companies, they also offer a pretty insightful commentary to the market everyday.. Good luck

My biggest questions would be How Old Are You.
If you are 30 you have 25-30 years before you should even need to start thinking about selling the stocks to pay for retirement, I feel that you would be better off leaving the money in and then if and when the market is low you should buy more stock. You have time for the money to grow and what happens if the markets goes up and you dont have the money in it. Besides taking the money out you are more likly to squander it on something that you really dont need.

I wouldn't do it. I'd keep your demostic stocks. Even if they tank for a while, you will most likely still be getting dividends. If you have those set to automatically reinvest dividends (assuming your brokeage allows for that), then you'd be able to continue to get stock at the lower price. I don't think we will hit a recession, but even if we do, we will eventually get out of it. We don't know when the stock prices will go back up and know one knows when that will be. You'd have to time it just right or else you'd buy too early or too late and miss the whole rebuying at the right time thing. Plus, when you add in the commissions to sell and the commissions to buy, you'd be eating into your potential profits two extra times.

I would reccomend real estate. I bought a few rental properties in Modesto 3 years ago and have been really happy with them. The prices really went up since I bought them I haven't checked them in about six months though. Both units are vacant right now because I haven't been able to find renters but I am in it for the long haul.

Someone told me bank stocks are really good to get into now as well.

Hope it helps!

Hi,
Before you sell off all your domestic, make sure you get the right advice. Ask questions on other sites that have professionals posting. Be specific about your financial situation, years to retirement, age, family etc. The more specific you are, the more tailored the answer will be to your needs. Two sites that could be helpful are moneyrec.com, it's free for users and designed for questions like yours. You could get some very good input. Another, is Morningstar-- has a free. board, but you have to pay for other info.
Stick to sites like these that only focus on investments.
Good luck with your results
Best Regards
Bunny

It's almost never a good idea to "sell everything". It might have been helpful to have asked this earlier when you might have managed your gains and losses to minimize taxes in an intelligent way. Basically, you want an age appropriate, risk appropriate, diversified portfolio. And, since you are asking US; you might want an advisor who gives objective advice. You might PAY for that advice by way of commissions or fees which reduces your gains; but it may well be worth it in improved performance and piece of mind.
