[quote=Anonymous]Yes I do. I think for a retirement portfolio -- why wouldn't you?? Esp. if you're young -- esp below age 40. You wouldn't keep it in aggressive growth forever bc you have to think about -- what if we hit another 2008 and the market doesn't recover fully until 2013. Now if you're 35 and that happens and recovery happens by age 40-42, no sweat bc you didn't have access to those funds anyway. But if you're 50 and that happens, you're sweating bullets. If you're 60 and that happens, you're delaying retirement. Take advantage of your youth (you don't say how old you are) and put your money into aggressive growth funds for a while, earn the returns, and then start switching them over as you get older (sequentially not all at once) to more regular growth (as opposed to aggressive) funds and then from those to balanced funds.[/quote]
