[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We put everything in funds focusing on preservation of capital in 2019.  Turns out it worked well for us. [/quote]Be more explicit, you put everything  in bonds for CDs?   Why on earth would you do that??  Diversification is important so all in one thing usually isn't the best choice.  Market is at all time highs and folks are worried about Trump and his tariffs.  Don't you realize he will be gone in 3 years and the tariff talk is all white noise.  As a long time stock market observer, you guys just watch too much news and are easily influenced by all the pundits.  I know Trump is all on your minds, but follow company earnings , the FED moves,  unemployment, and measures of GDP.   Just relax,   the market will fluctuate, Trump will talk,  and the sun will rise the next day.

Having 1-2 years of liquid assets not in the market is a great hedge while retired, esp if you anticipate the need to spend this cash.  You don't want to have to sell in a bear crisis or hug market drop.
