On a serious note, sign up for financialengines.com. It will tell you if you have the right risk (beta) and what your next move should be to balance out your portfolio. A good strategy is to work your buckets of money and when one grows such that it throws off your allocation percentages, you sell it back down and reallocate across the board. In a nutshell here's what we do: 1.) Long term winner mutual funds that are well diversified (this is core and bulk). 2.) Some short term stocks (occasionally bonds). 3.) Some gambling with options (like saddles or covered calls) 4.) cash-only reserve (not in dollars). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - RUWebby http://www.ruwebby.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:138617 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
