[quote=Anonymous]I just rebalanced my 401K investments and I have no clue if I am doing it right or not.  I have no guidance except what I've read on the investment company website, so I figure I'll go ahead and ask a bunch of strangers from the internet :)
I am 35 years old and my portfolio is as follows
Domestic Stock	61%
Foreign Stock	18%
Bonds	15%
Short Term	5%
Unknown	0%
Other	1%

I feel like I have too much in foreign stock, and I have no idea if the amount I have in bonds is a good or bad thing.  According to website this is "aggressive growth".  At the age of 35, should I still be doing "aggressive growth", or should I try and switch things around to follow a "growth" mix.  Also, according to the analysis my "stock style" is "medium growth", rather than the "large blend" which is what the Dow Jones is.  Should I be aiming more for "large blend"?  I understand that these terms indicate the types of stocks included, but I don't understand the implications, like if one is higher risk than the other.

Thanks for any advice.  I try and read about this stuff, but I really have a difficult time wrapping my head around all the terminology.[/quote]
