[quote=Anonymous]First you need to decide what "relatively safe" means to you. Bogleheads sometimes suggest one way to do that is to try to decide what % loss in a year would be ok, and put 2x that amount in stocks (so if you could bear to lose no more than 20%, then put no more than 40% in stocks). Here's a recent thread (just one of many overall) discussing how to evaluate risk and the role of bonds vs stocks. http://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=129687&newpost=1908355 Once you've thought through what risk you are concerned about and what risk you can accept, we (or the bogleheads forum) might able to suggest whether the money should be in CD/savings bonds vs bond funds vs balanced (stock/bond) fund) vs stock fund.[/quote]
