Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I have things set up where I am ambivalent about the ongoing shutdown/debt debate.
60% stock index (SPY, VT, VXUS, VWO) in 401K and taxable
10% bond index (PIMCO total) in 401K
23% cash (was more but paid off home mortgage) in taxable
5% gold (GLD bought Friday at $122) in IRA
2% puts on SPY in IRA
Stagnant market won't kill me. 10% gain in stocks would be nice. 10% drop in the market would be a great buy point for my 20% cash and the puts would boost my IRA to about a 500% return for this year (or they expire worthless and it drops from 34% return to 31%).
Note that I do care what happens to the country, I just don't know what is going to happen so trying to position well myself in all scenarios.
