I was wondering why my traffic jumped. Thanks for the mention. I was also late to Twitter (@riscario), but early enough to find CC there before the announcement ;) If you're not sure what the fuss is about, read <a href="http://www.marketingactuary.com/2009/03/why-twitter-finally-makes-sense-for.html" rel="nofollow">Why Twitter (Finally) Makes Sense For Building Your Business</a> (also applies to nonbusiness users).

I think stocks are good value here (from a longer-term perspective) and keeping in mind that anything could happen in the short term. Having some cash will also afford us the luxury of taking a longer term view of the portfolio. Personally, I'd prefer a safety-first strategy too.

My friend's opinion is that cash should be deployed in the market now as he believes that this is the time to buy. While I think that this might be the time to buy, for my main source of income, I am employed in the suffering manufacturing sector of the economy and don't think that it's going to stabilize in the foreseeable future. So, it was more of a "buy and live on the edge" vs. "comfortably having cash to survive on the sideline" debate...

I hate to throw a wet blanket on the excitement about spring, but more snow before spring is likely. Thanks for the mention.
