Constructing a balanced portfolio of index funds yielding 3 1/2%-4%

cashflo2u2 Recycles dryer sheets Join Date: Oct 2007 Posts: 319	This is what I would like to do. Is this possible and can anyone steer me to a resource that would help me construct a 50-50 portfolio that would throw off 4% +- in cash flow each year? One that was not over weighted towards financials also. All I need is 4%. Could I then ignore the volatility in principal?
