No rocket science here.
50/50 AA in summer 2007 as a "wait and see" for first year of FIRE.
2008 market behavior delivered a loss outside my perceived risk comfort zone.
Plan B - reset my AA to 40/60 in January 2009.
No drastic changes planned for 2010. 40/60 AA seems to be a good comfort zone.
Today - I'm still DCAing into stock MFs and a little bit into muni bond MFs. I bought a few shares of a "just for fun" stock on the side. I started DCA into a small TE MMF in accordance with my long term plan.
Just riding the tide.
