I guess in the broadest sense... I also rebalanced our portfolio. I sold all of our Canadian equity mutual funds before the June 2008 peak. I have been in near cash investments since that time. I have also had a little luck with bear ETFs on the way down. Which, if you think about it - makes logical sense for anyone thinking things will go lower. Going long during the bull market and either stepping aside or go short during the bear market. I am also waiting for signs of the bottom before venturing back in to long positions.

I'm monitoring a few key ETF's that I 'm looking to make additional investments to. Basically looking for when they are close to 52 week lows again and then evaluate the environment (mostly ignoring the news noise). I certainly don't feel rushed as long as I'm mostly done before the end of Summer. I have delayed my reballancing too waiting for things to go lower.
