Get Your Money out of the Market (1 Viewer)

What should our retirement timeframe be before we start to move significant portions out of stocks, 5 years?  I've got around 10 and I'm getting antsy to go to at least a 50 stock/50bond mix soon.

I'm thinking 10 provided not in the middle of a big drop and then 120-age in stock from then on out.

That's a little more stock heavy than I was thinking, but in the ballpark.  This stupid run has to end sometime (hucks prediction nonewithstanding) and I don't want to be looking at Dow 12,000 with 80% of my portfolio in stock and I'm 55 years old or something.  I'd rather risk the upside to have solid protection for the downside.

If you're in that 10 year window, then it would be 65%.

65% in stocks seems kinda risky.  Duh.  :P

Oh.    If you plan on living long need to start off a little riskier.   It will work itself out in the long term.  Up, down, rebalance, repeat.  My philosophy is be a little riskier, but give yourself some cushion with the retirement budgeting to be able to dial back a bit if necessary.

I do 60% Broad Market, 20% Company Stock, 10% Treasuries, 10% Insurance Contracts in my 401k. Rebalance, repeat. Anti-LHUCKS'ian.

 
yolo

I also saw another tweet saying they thought it was fake and it was a demo account. 

Don't understand why he would write all that and be fake though.

It might actually be time to re-balance portfolios in light of the Big Cheeto sitting in the Oval Office. Maybe the OP, the premier ### hole of this board in his time and the equal of any of our Trumpites today, was just five years early.

Oh, wait. That still makes him an idiot.

Over the next four months several factors (including but not limited to Europe and the political mudslinging) are going to result in significant stock market losses IMHO. It may not happen, but I think the likelihood is much stronger than an increase.

The Dow is at 12,997 right now. :blackdot:

only up 65% - this is the LHUCKiest of LHUCKS threads ever.  And that's saying something.

 
Last posted in this thread back in 12/2012

Since then:

Taxable Account - Avg annual = 10%

IRA Account - AVG annual = 15%

Stay long folks.....simply stay long.

You really ought to take a long look in the mirror

It's definitely interesting.  If people truly don't respect Trump and are concerned about him being president, the market shouldn't be performing so well.

The market sees tax cuts coming and big spending. Great for the short term. Donnie is going to create the biggest bubble ever. Deficits don't matter x 1000.

 
Question. If the dotcom bubble and the housing bubble never existed, and the markets returned historic averages during those times, what would the S&P and NAZ be at today. I'm thinking right about where they are now. Correct?
