Tossed out as food for thought...Market volatility and rising interest rates does tend to make one think of paring down on equities and moving to bonds...I'm not saying long term treasuries, shorter instruments as a way of preserving capital.
Factor your ages in as well..a 30 year old with marketable skills could handle a nasty and lengthy downturn and have time to recover. Ol' PWD at 74 doesn't have that time. So yeah, Cindy & I are very light on equities...extremely light, according to many of the financial talking heads.
