I'm hoarding cash and trimming some profitable positions.
2009 was the buying opportunity of a lifetime (I held, but didn't have any dry powder left to buy).
Sounds like this couple got spooked (understandably), but is now seeing the news about new highs being achieved daily.

Maybe a good idea would be to figure out what they're truly comfortable and content with, without being influenced by the noise/"news" - perhaps a few solid dividend stocks?
