I'm sensing an upcoming disturbance in the markets. I sold off everything I had last week, and gonna leave it on the sideline for a bit. I know you shouldn't buy and sell on gut feelings, but at least I'll have a few peaceful nights.

you sold off everything related to MS/ABKS, or everything everything? lol

Selling off all your stock all at once is uhm...quite a move 

Yep, everything I had invested with my Edwards Jones account (it wasn't too much).  I didn't have any 401's or IRA's, it was just mutuals and yes my MS/ABKS and Sony stocks.  I only had about $130,000 invested in and sold at $158,000.  I had it for about 2 1/2 years.  I'm still sitting on a bunch of precious metals, some real estate, and a 1.6 million dollar business.  I've been trying to sell my business, and the guy I had looking at it and studying the numbers since February ended up backing out 2 weeks ago.  I've since decided to keep it in the family and just paid (today actually) to move my son and his fiancé over from 200 miles away to get them trained to run and operate it.  I was planning a full retirement, but it looks like it's going to be a semi-retirement for a little bit.

I did feel instantly relieved after selling the stocks.
