Poll: How much currently in equities?

[travelover]

Hanging in at 70%, as pensions cover expenses, so I can take more risk and hopefully afford a more luxurious nursing home.

+1. Well, not in retirement yet but saving enough for LTC is a definite concern as there's a history of dementia in the family.

I underestimated our equity position in the poll, but we've been adding to our stock mutual fund holdings as the market has dipped. Currently stand at 38% stocks with 8% cash. We'll put a little more into an equity fund today.

 

[easysurfer]

I'm at 45% which is within my target allocation. No plans to do any rebalancing until 1/2016, if needed.

 

[hesperus]

59% equities

 

[38Chevy454]

Approx 70% for all accounts

 

[target2019]

We are at 55.2%. That is -1.8% from target 57.0% for equities.

90% No fear and looking to buy more!

 

[audreyh1]

Rebalanced to 53% equities in Jan, 2015. Got up to over 54% equities at the peak in May. Down to about 52% now.

 

[pb4uski]

60.7% as of last night, but declining with each passing minute today.

 

[Ready]

56%...goal is to get to 60% for ten more years, then drop back to 50% as earned income goes away.

49.5%, I'm a cautious lemming.

 

[tuckeverlasting]

40%, target AA is 40/60. 65 yo and retired!

 

[NW-Bound]

The way the market is moving, we need a poll like this once a week.

 

[Rosie]

As of market close yesterday, we had 47% in stocks, because the proceeds from our home sale were deposited to our Vanguard money market account that day.

I did some buying today (to quote W2R, "whee!" ) and we're now up to 52%. Over time we'll be back up to our target of 60%.

 

[Beardog]

60%.

That's about 7-8% less than a couple weeks ago......

 

[Senator]

Do mean before August or after...?

If I count my entire NW including rentals, about 40% in equities. If I count only my liquid assets, about 90% is in equities.

 

[sayhey24]

8-13-15 we had 68%
Just saw what the market did today
So I guess we are south of 68%

 

[FreeBear]

Actually, I guessed about 50% equity. I decided to stop looking monthly. Well, I hear this is a good month to stop looking for awhile anyway...

Glad I trimmed back from 70%+ equity that I carried just before ER.

 

[Henry Lili]

54%

30%- I have been buying the dips.

Still at 30%?

 

[Nunthewiser]

Less than 20% as of now. I got spooked about 2 years ago and got very conservative (CDs, Stable Value) waiting for interest rates to rise, and waiting, and waiting...and missed a couple of very good years. Got lots and lots of dry power. Wish I had some of it when GE was trading at $6 etc...

 

[travelover]

Wait, I just found some change in the couch cushions.

Can I vote again?

 

[Cobra9777]

50% pure equity index funds, but I answered 65% to include real estate holdings.
