I just went from a 70/30 ratio (leaning aggressive) to a 50/50 split.

I'm still 10 years away from when I want to retire which will be the SSA FRA age for my bracket (67). I was at 60/40 when Trump got elected and made it 70/30 just before his inauguration.

It was a very nice three years. Now I don't want to push my luck!

The best personal finance/market website in existence today. No matter the question, you’ll get an answer from someone who has had prior experience.

I agree, I am ten years into retirement and I just last month readjusted from 60 40 to 50 50 as Trump’s first three years ran the stock market side up quite a bit.

I actually expect 5 more years of good market because the trade balance will be signed and the deal with Canada and Mexico and soon Britain will enhance business around the world, Will even be good for China.

Now we still have to be a bit concerned about international relations.

Yes, don’t push your luck, but at 50 50 your portfolio is balanced and the market must always be part of your strategy.
