Is it better to right too early or be wrong too late. If you've been listening to Danielle Park for any length of time then you know she believes that it's the former, not the latter. While she's been sitting on the sidelines for quite a while, the market has done nothing but go up.

Better to be proactive and avoid potentially devastating losses, even if it means missing out on large temporary gains.
