Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
re balancing, i read a few posts in here from folks that claim that in 2008-2009 they re balanced to 100 % equities, and they reaped the huge rewards, i even read one post where he claimed he re balanced every day. the posters that went to 100 % equities arent they violating their asset allocations? if they started at 70/30 or 80/20 how do u go to 100 % equities, and didnt they switch back to their original allocation?, im a skeptical guy , i view some of these posts as suspect, , just like my tax guy who cold cold feet in 2007 went to money market, bragged he avoided the 2007-2009 carnage, i wonder when and if he went back to equities. so im fuzzy on this rebalance to 100 % equity thing, . for full disclosure i dont rebalance untill its really out of whack, during the last 2007-2009 blood bath i was 100 equities so no rebalance needed, i was mostly small cap,sp500 and the still terrible international. now im 80/20 and thats my mix probably till the end. thank you in advance for any info u can provide me
