"It is not right to say that you're 65% in cash when you're really around 80% in actual $'s yet your returns reflect the $ amounts."

But does he actually say that? I just reviewed a couple of recent issues, and the ONLY place 65% cash is mentioned is on the Active/Passive Portfolio.

"He should asset allocate at least once a year and then plunk the excess cash into his mutual funds."

Maybe, but that's really a strategy decision, and as such up to him. IF he picks a good re-entry point, then allowing the model portfolios to creep up to 80% cash will benefit those who are in them.That's why I say that the quality of the re-entry call is the crucial issue for the model portfolios.

Now, it wouldn't hurt for him to explicitly say "We are allowing the model portfolios to drift above 65% cash due to market action, in order to increase available cash for the eventual re-entry." That would save a lot of confusion.
