There are too many other things in play for this to be a worthwhile one answer question. First, I feel it can be misleading when someone states they are 100% equities without full disclosure of pensions, other sources of income, retiree healthcare etc. I could be over 100% equities a little bit if I had those bases covered. Age is another factor. My 26 year old son is 100% equities in his retirement accts. but that in itself means very little to me.
Personally I'm 45 equity/40 bond / 15 cash with the cash enough to cover 5 years expenses. Raising the equity portion does nothing to improve my chances of success when run on Firecalc. Good enough for me.
