Draw boxes around the sideways period makes it a lot clearer. But I wish you well.

Personally I time markets based on probabilities, but mostly hedge small bits along the way. Hedges pay off whether things go up, or go down. Grantham is not simply using a on-off invest or cash binary strategy, he's invested in specific ideas along the way. When a market advance is long in the tooth, it can be wise to rebalance and beware that trends do revert to the mean.
