With stock valuations near all-time highs in the U.S., many people are asking whether we should reduce or exposure to stocks. In fact, a recent Vanguard market outlook report concluded that a typical 60/40 retirement portfolio may be too rich, and that a 40/60 portfolio is a better option in this valuation environment. This video is my take on all of this. Resources: Vanguard Report: https://corporate.vanguard.com/conten... Bogleheads Forum Post: https://www.bogleheads.org/forum/view... Join the Newsletter.

Welcome to another edition of Five Question Friday (FQF). Here are the 5 questions: 1. Can one Fidelity fund beat the Vanguard 3-fund portfolio? 2. How do expense ratios work with fund of funds? 3. Concerning the 4% rule, which I believe the analysis runs out for 30 years, if someone starts to take a yearly percentage out of their portfolio at a later age, say in their mid-70s, can the starting point of 4% be safely increased, and to what? 4. How to Track a Complicated Portfolio 5. What should we make of Vanguard's paper that indicates a better asset allocation for retirement income is a majority of bonds (like 40% equities, 60% bonds!) as opposed to long-established portfolios that are more like 60/40 in favor of equities. Even Bill Bengen didn't recommend going below 50% equities, right? Join the Newsletter. It's Free: https://robberger.com/newsletter/?utm...…

In today's episode of Five Question Friday (FQF), we start with a strategy you might consider if you want to leave your expensive financial advisor but you are afraid of going it alone. Here are all the questions in today's show: 1. How to leave your financial advisor 2. TIPS ladder vs BND 3. Are Target Date Funds a Reasonable Option 4. If a person has over $250,000 in a Fidelity account, should they open up another account - say with Vanguard, Schwab, M1 Finance, or perhaps another brokerage - elsewhere as well? 5. How do we rebalance assets in Boldin? If we enter a 60/40 portfolio today, after a few years, it turns into 80/20, which means the software is not rebalancing automatically.2.
