Market pointing to the Nov low and no one is jumping out the window!

Well, it depends on what the bond portion does. But if the bonds don't change in value, then a 4% equity increase would change your allocation from 50/50 to 51.9%. Did I get that right?

Not quite. If you had $100 in stocks and $100 in bonds originally, with a 4% jump in stocks you now have $104 in stocks and $100 in bonds.

104/204 = 50.98% stocks.

Yes, I did the math wrong.
