New So if I'm reading you aright...
... if I indirectly hold any stock - i.e. in a managed investment portfolio -, the right thing to do is to leave it there.

I think that right now, not holding stock is a wise idea.

Long-term the short-term reasons that I believe that are irrelevant, it doesn't matter which you do.

But I would suggest that you read that speech by Bogle. A managed investment portfolio is something that I don't believe is a very good idea for reasons that he explains very well.

Cheers,
Ben
