If you are in the 15% bracket, LTCG are taxed at 0% federal (state tax may be different).

I think 20% is the max tax rate on LTCG, not the minimum
Thanks, that explains it.

Once you've read enough, you will never consider market timing again. Investing is unbelievably simple and making it harder than it is will cost you money. Every time.

There is somewhere between the dark side and the force...your AA doesn't have to be static, it can be based on a formula. If the PE10 of US equities is too high, you could use PE10 to tilt away from US and pick up foreign equities. That's not purely ignoring everything and rebalancing, but not DMT.
