02:36 - Once you get out of the market, where should that money go? Gregory and James review the call from Tom in Houma on Saturday's show, and Gregory goes a little bit deeper into how to assign different jobs to different groups of your assets. If you're getting out of the market because you think it's on its way down, you need to position those assets to be able to jump right back in the market on a moment's notice when things turn around. If you're exiting the market permanently, it's time to review your risk tolerance to see what tools would be appropriate.
