get out now while the going is good or you risk losing it all
People were saying the exact same thing when the DOW went down to 6500 in '09 and if you sold then you would have lost 50-75% of your investments. The market is not for short term investing and if you think it is you are, for all intents and purposes, a sucker. Over the long run, 20 years+, the market has returned 8-9%.
No one beats the market, that's why you should invest in index funds. If you can't beat the market you should just own the market.
If you look at gold and silver as an investment, in terms of real return, they have averaged about 1-2% since the early 1800's. They can't even beat inflation. Good luck with that.
