Re: Syria Crisis
Yup, I've made adjustments. But not solely for the fiasco that is Syria. Lots of Black Swans taking flight.
However, in my dumb opinion, it is never wise to play the retirement investment game 100%. At least if you don't have a system you are successful with - and I don't. My 60/0/20/10/10 split results in an Annual Return of 3% and an Annual Risk of 4% about 67% of the time. Also, it will slow down a collapse so I can bail in time to avoid a loss this year. However, what if things improve. Maybe leadership from Germany, England, Israel or somewhere else smooths things out and the equities market booms. Then I catch 40% of the gains. If you are 100% out than you have no capability of gaining anything because the large gains are usually at the beginning.
Plus, I have learned it is never wise to market time on politicians.
Lookin' up at the 'G Fund'!!!
