Hi Kirk,

LOL = which is like winning a butt kicking contest between one legged men..

I've worked my profits last year in my taxable account into a solid fortress balance list of great US companies(selling losers and buying high quality stocks (T and XOM).

Had my best profitable year ever, but jettisoned every stock that a slow down can impact.

My dividend return has never been higher and yet my higher growth 50 % of the portfolio is well balanced vs overly concentrated in a historical perspective.

I'm a secure as I've ever been.

I still do not know enough about bonds.

Remember in June when the 10 year traded 3.13 and now it trades 2.89. Since then the fed has raised the fed funds rate 3 times at .25 rate.

Of course one must hold a bond for 12 months to make the gain, capital gains eligible.

Overall , I'm 1/3 cashand 2/3 stock.

If we ever get to an inflationary run away environment I'll ladder 5 and 10 years.

Not sure I'll ever see it , but I did once before and I was on the wrong side of things - taught me diversification is good, but with a long recovery. LOL

Always value your posts - thanks for being there with solid knowledge!

Bob
