I guess this is a question about timing the market. So what do folk recommend in regard to Super - set and forget your investment options or switch to lower risk options if you sense a downturn up ahead?

Any basic clues how a person might predict a downturn?

Ps For those interested (and I haven't quite got my head around his formula) there is a guy by name of Matthew Ford (http://www.forward.com.au/superannuation/protectingyoursuper.html > who regularly sends out to subscribers, free updates to the spreadsheet he uses to protect his super.

I have my super on a set and forget index asx200 index fund.

In my personal investments I price markets rather than time, I spend my time trying to find good businesses I can understand and then buy them for good prices, and hold them for very long periods of time.

Let's ditch the idea of retirement

Retiring at the age of 67 is nice in theory yet outmoded. Increasing life expectancy and technological changes mean we should discard the old idea of retirement, work longer, and create a life that fits individual needs.

and .. here we go

starting to soften you up to the fact you super has been vaporized ( at least in the UK , goodness knows where else )

they have gouged fees , mal-invested , and pumped your contributions into non-performing misadventures

but hey peasant work til you die because the government needs the tax revenue ( and they are endemically greedy )
