According to most finanacial advisors, at my age my portfolio should consist of at least 50% stock and 50% fixed income investments. My portfolio contains less than 20% stocks. Again, I am very nervous about the stock market and believe in taking my time. I don't expect to, but if I lose every cent I have invested in the stock market, I'm still going to retire on time. If you are ahead of the game you can "go on like a turtle."
