My financial advisor said if anyone is within 5 years of retirement to get out and lock in the gains. The downside exposure is too big a risk. Outside of 5 years, he said you should be ok and enjoy buying at a lower price. For the rest of 2020 he doesn't see a big gain in the market, but can see where it could drop another 10 to 15%.

I think that's wise for short term given the huge gains from last couple years
