Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Hmmm - circa 1970 I got the impression that 'traditional pension fund' was 60/40. Sooo 1970 to 2010 pretty much 60/40 while I read Ben (Graham), Bogle and Berstein and tap danced around the edges ala REIT's, individual Dividend stocks, high yield corp and few other brain pharts over the decades.
Although the ride was a tad chewy at times - turns out index funds and the old 60/40 was the lead sled dog. The other stuff amounted to more like shifting deck chairs on the Titanic.
I still like/follow what Bogle, Bernstein have to say and manage my male hormone condition with football and a few good stocks.
Nowadays mainly VG Target Ret. 2015 for 'real money and "hurry up just stand there".
heh heh heh - at age 70 slightly lower than 60/40.
P.S. 53/46 and cash - I just checked.
