Geez, and I thought our retirement portfolio embraced volatility yet we're only 5% off our peak. I don't think our allocations have changed enough to notice. Are you in a lot of different sectors or niches? If you're bouncing off both ends of the bell curve this fast, is it time for a look at volatility?audreyh1 said:I happened to rebalance my portfolio in April - added to bonds mid April and trimmed equities at end of April.
My portfolio has already swung around to where I need to rebalance the other way even with my 5% "hysteresis" - sell bonds, buy stocks!
I have never had it change so fast!
At some point "frequent rebalancing" becomes "dirty market timing"...d said:this is true. if one rebalances continuously (daily) the $ benefit approaches zero. but if one rebalances too infrequently, the opportunities may well be missed. any thoughts on what is optimal?
