Perfect timing. How did you know to sell it at that point?

I started last year - March 23rd!
A few years after my wife and I got married, around 1986, we took out a Whole Life Policy on her, and a few years later another one on me. We always made the payments, but never checked the investment portion of them to see how they were doing. We weren't active with it.
Turns out that after more than twenty years, the "investment" grew very little. I felt cheated. The amount in our accounts wasn't any where near what the amortization sheets showed. With the decline of the market through 2008, that's what made me even look at those accounts at all. In October 2008, I changed all the accounts over to cash. I estimate we lost between twenty and thirty percent.
I closed all my John Hancock accounts and moved them all into my own Ameritrade accounts. I spent some time learning about different investments, and on March 23rd 2009 I jumped into the market with both feet. Over the course of 2009, I made all that we had lost back again. The choices I made in March of 2009 seemed very easy then. I saw so many good companies that were bargains to buy, I wished I had a million dollars! It really was very clear to me what to do.
But now, it's not so easy to decide on what to buy or when to buy or sell.

You guys are very lucky that you can move in and out of positions with great ease. My wife works for an investment bank and I have to clear trades through them but I can only send requests in from 9am to 10am each day and I have a limit on the requests I can make. To make matters worse if there have been times when I had bought a stock with their ok and when I finally want to sell it they tell me I'm not clear to trade. I've had C since it was over $50 a share and I still can't sell it to this day.
oh well enough griping from me.
does anyone have any ETF suggestions? I can trade those without any clearance. I was thinking USO right now.
take care. JD
