If you had $2.5 mil in cash, bills and company stock. You wanted to retire in one year. How would you invest that amount in order secure $80,000 a year in income while protecting the principal (including inflation)

TH,
Retirement Target Funds sees 11% annual returns? Wow, I'm 30 and that sounds good to me! With a long time horizon, I can afford 1-2 year down turns if my long term is that rosy! Thanks for the info, you've probably posted it before, but as a newbie, that was gold worth posting again!
Thats my Roth IRA holding as well. 100%.
I like the autoadjust and the slight beating of the s&p500 but the volatility aspect doesnt bother me in a holding I wont touch for 20 years.
I dont see a lot of reason to hold an awful lot of bonds in any IRA unless you're less than 10 years from tapping it.

Re. "hold at least 30% in stocks", that is one way.
Real estate is another.
There's stocks... and there's all other investments.
Over the past century, real estate has provided about 6.5% in return. Stocks? about 11-12%.
Data source, please? What kind of real estate? How about leverage? What are after tax, cash-on-cash returns?
I would not be too glib on this. I have yet to see a source for LT returns of RE that even comes close to a benchmark like the S&P 500 in terms of accuracy.
I'm thinkin of going 100% bonds in the IRA and adjusting the taxable account accordingly. I'm 25 years from drawing on the IRA. The reason is to keep a balanced portfolio (about 50.50) but with the assets that generate taxable income sheltered in the IRA for now.
