• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Updated my asset allocation today: reducing equity exposure

I move my stock/bond mix from 70/30 Stocks to bonds to 30/70 S/B

I would never drop my stock exposure below 25% (following Benjamin Graham advice), but this is as conservative as I’ve ever been.

As a reference I was 70/30 S/B pre-
COVID and switched to 95/5 in March of last year.

I’ve got enough exposure to inflation protected assets elsewhere, but I’ve got a feeling shit might be hitting the fan soon.

If not, meh I’ll still do much better than parking the $ in a savings account.

It does feel like something big is gonna drop soon. Just a funny feeling.

What type of stuff is in your inflation protected portfolio?

Mistake at your age bro. Bonds suck

if inflation keeps coming in hot, you want to own stocks.

Prob 75% of my worth is in RE, so I’m cool being conservative there for now. Playing the overvalued/undervalued market has done me well in retirement accounts though. It’s really small potatoes in the end though cause in the next few years we are gonna have a billion dollar tech business

I hear you on the stock market I think its overvalued too. But that doesn't mean I don't think it can go higher.

Anyway, like you said stocks are just one portion of a portfolio.

@catreaper on a casting couch is likely a billion dollar industry just by itself if you can get him to commit on his OV.

Your enthusiasm is infectious! 🐸
