I still believe firmly that it's all about asset allocation, how much of your total wealth you devote to a given asset.

I agree with you that asset allocation is very important. However....it really is an individual decision of how much money to invest in the stock market, versus other investments.

So many factors go into "asset allocation"...IMO based on your planned retirement age, other investments, other income sources....(real estate/business investments), and how much you personally feel you can risk of your assets. Some investments IMO are very high risk...with "the plus" being, that if you have invested correctly the financial reward for that risk is tremendous.

I tend to follow and invest in stocks that IMO have the potential for tremendous growth. At some point in my life I'm sure my "financial goals" will be very different, and at that time my asset allocation will reflect this change. If I were planning to support myself from the income from my investments, then I would want to own more "blue chip" stocks that paid a dividend, but didn't offer the growth potential.

I don't think that there can be a "formula" for asset allocation because every situation is different, and most likely each individual has needs which continue to change depending on many factors.
