Unless you are planning your demise in the next few years, you are still


operating under that 10-year window where equities should dominate your portfolio.

I read a great article (can't recall author) explaining how even if you are pulling out monies each year, you should keep most in equities. The up's and down's will outweigh bonds even if you are pulling income.

My father-in-law used to panic whenever his portfolio would dip. I tried to discuss this with him but he eventually put everything in his bank's savings account. A Naval Academy graduate with several patents, but he did not have the temperament for investing.
