I agree with you. THere really is no wrong approach, just different ones based on your risk tolerance and time horizon. My brother for instance feels exactly like you do and he has about three times my net worth. What's funny is that he's entirely in bonds. I have been trying to convince him that he may think he is being conservative as possible, but if inflation gets kicked off for any reason or if rates just start naturally coming back up when the economy turns around, he'll find his tidy profits from the last two years in bonds evaporating pretty quickly. So I have literally been begging him to move to at least 50% value or fixed income equities to minimize his exposure to risk. Bonds were hot for two years, but now they are at their peak. Stocks were hot for 5 years before the bonds became hot and now they are at the trough or close to it. So I keep telling him to get diversified for his own sake, but anyway I can't convince him. So in the end, each to his own. Good luck to you Skeeter. Small caps aren't a bad place to be, if you know how to pick em. I like mutual funds best, though. It reduces my risk. Later!
