[quote=Anonymous]We're in a similar position, mid to upper 50s. I think of terms of a traditional 60% stocks/40% bond portfolio. But then I don't put the 40% just in bonds, rather think about what bonds are supposed to do and then diversify that. So of that 40% about 20% is in bonds--through bond etfs, treasury ladders and ibonds. The remaining is in dividend etfs and a few "safe" stocks that provide a dividend. I would normally think of REITs as a small percentage of this category too, but they feel too unpredictable right now for me to put much in them as companies are reckoning with. I keep somewhere between 5-10% in cash for opportunities, but I may do less as interest rates go down.[/quote]
