This is my plan exactly - will go from current 55% up to maybe 90%, but not sure when.

Also, still in accumulation (somewhat), but I will be increasing my contribution now that market is lower, not decreasing as someone else stated a few posts up.

Also instead of the additional $1500/month going into taxable (equities) it will now sit in MM until I feel this current black swan has run it's course. When will I know? ?? Heck, I may wait in cash (MM) until after the election. I know-not suppose to time the market. I just can't see putting $ into the market right now.

You are in the accumulation phase yet you buy fewer equities when prices go down?
