The timing ("shortly before the election") is the tough part. Too early and you could miss out on some gains. This is fine if it means you dodged the crash. If the crash occurs before you pull the trigger, you may be along for the ride. A lot depends on where you are at wrt your retirement date. And of course the size of your retirement savings.
