Something I don't see people discuss is protecting critical mass is done with asset allocation to begin with. Some start at 50:50 stocks/fixed and might go to 30% stocks if they have a very large net worth.

Excellent point.

Bob should mention this more often. I have heard him say that once one is at critical mass one must take action to preserve that position, that capital, or else one may regret being in that position and then having the market take it away. It is an important point that he cannot mention often enough.

Yes, I agree that 50% equities, 50% cash and bonds would be a good starting point.

I would be interested in hearing the amount others on this board think critical mass is defined as for me critical mass would be having cash, bonds and equities north of $2 million dollars.
