I was watching for when that happened using a google sheet I designed to give the indication, without my having to actually check my portfolio. I remember being a little disappointed though, that I didn't rebalance when stocks hit their low point, as some people here did. However, I would have been rebalancing out of cash into stocks, whereas my rebalance involved moving money from cash and bonds (primarily) and a bit out of gold. In the end I don't think it made a lot of difference.

I'm nowhere near crossing any band right now, so sitting tight as per plan.

Taxable or tax-deferred accounts?
Selling Gold in taxable is a tough pill to swallow.
