Merry Christmas - target allocation is 35/15/15/35.modeljc wrote: ↑Mon Dec 24, 2018 5:42 pmGlad you are still around! I will ask again: What is your final allocation if you catch a good bid on Gold/LTT's. It just for now! You can change it. Can you help us all with the Budd allocation. I'm 81 so I pass. But if your have 20 years to invest let me have it.

I TLH Gold and offset gains in SCV (IJS)
I then bought SC Blend (IJR) to move closer to 35%
Definitely have felt the pain in stocks as IJR is down 6% since that purchase.
Basically, sold some gold and put in stocks and LTT’s.
Not that concerned that I missed some gold gains as some went to LTT’s to mitigate.
5% went to stocks with the intent of including more equities going forward. It’s a crapshoot but I feel better having slightly less gold, more stocks and LTT’s.
Still wishing we either see a strong stock recovery or Gold/LTT’s catch a bid. Would like to rebalance from either of these into stocks.
A little more prosperity and cash, a little less gold and LTT’s. I think I can follow this allocation without much regret.
