I'm thinking take the guarantee money while you have the chance. I still think the worst has yet to come and better buying opportunities are ahead.  

fake rally in SPY QQQ all low volume, lowest volumes since December. JS lol

I did however buy some names who have not participated in the rally like RY, CVS, PNC, SCHW, CI and USB

Very smart move. Volume has been very light. Something tells me a lot of shorts are going to come in very soon and a retest of the lows will come.

My wife and I have been thinking of doing this as well. And probably Monday I will make a move. Lots of banks offering over  a4 % yield now. I just don't trust this market and the powers to be.

Take your 4-4.5 % and wait in a year when prices are much lower.

I think it is a completely reasonable forecast, and I admire your conviction. I agree we'll likely continue to trade in this range (which we're near the top of again) for a while longer -- this certainly does not feel like a breakout. Nonetheless, I'll probably just ride the waves like I usually do. Nibble on the bargains and daydream about a little trimming at the tops which I rarely actually do.
I will say, as long as I've been an investor I've kept a LOT more in cash than any advisor would suggest. I just sleep better that way, even though it has been "dead" money for so many years now. All of a sudden, it is earning non-zero interest that is giving me a nice little tailwind at the moment...
