I'm 33, and currently have my monies spread amonst several mutual funds, both domestic and international, with an emphasis on "growth" type strategy. Except for a short term MM fund which i have about 6K in, and my checkbook which tends to have ~ 2K in it, i'm 100% stock.
If you were my age, and striving for an ER in your 50s, where would your allocations be just speaking generally, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.
I know that a lot of you older (wiser) guys tend to be quite conservative, but i'm not sure to what extent I should assume that's simply because of your age, because you're no longer working and thus are risk adjusting based on that.
Am i insane to be 100% stock now? I guess i "think" i'm diversified because since i have mutual funds, i probably actually own several 100 companies, and with a 40% international weighting, those companies are spread all over the globe. I'm pretty sure i have the gut to stick out the volitality because that's exactly what i did from late 1999-2002 when i took a major beatdown.
