Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I have been reading a few articles that advocate moving about 5 percentage points of stock allocations from a total stock index fund to an REIT index fund. (so a 60/40 would end up as 55/5/40 stocks/reit/bonds.)
I am curious what others think of this. I know people who lost fortunes in REIT in the 70's and 80's and, because of that, have never gone near the things. But... I am wiling to learn if other think they are worth while. I would rebalance them about once a year along with the stock index funds and the bond index funds.
