[quote=Anonymous]I think many people deal with this issue by having a glide path, meaning they have several years' worth of expenses in cash equivalents like treasuries, so they don't have to sell equities during a downturn. I also have commercial real estate that provides solid, predictable income. I've kept enough cash reserves in the real estate account to cover vacancies and repairs. So to summarize, if you are worried about a market crash, the answer should include moving toward a more conservative allocation as you approach retirement. [/quote]
