My comment was not about asset allocation, but to address the point, previously, for some people in the accumulative phase, a bear market may be a buying opportunity, but that is not true for many who are in ER.
The hell it isn't true! Stocks plunge, other stuff in your portfolio stays flattish or actually goes up: buying opportunity! Sell the stuff that did better (on the margin at least) and buy more of what plunged. Voila, buying opportunity for the retired.
Of course, if you don't want to hold a well diversified portfolio you can always check out some of the squirrel recipes I have posted in the ER Forum Cookbook thread...
