I'm not sure diversification is working all that well for me. I did what was suggested and bought small, medium, large; value and growth; foreign and domestic funds and ETF's. Now it seems everything I own is in a race to reach the bottom--and it's really an exciting race, because all the participants are so closely bunched as they hurtle towards oblivion (or someplace close to it). Maybe diversification works well in good times, but is it an effective method to use in bad times?
OK, for this post I'm differentiating diversification (small, large, value, foreign, etc.) from AA (cash/bonds/equities/real estate, etc.).
