You dare say it! It is certainly true that getting 4-5% risk free (except for the occasional Brinker scare about bankrupt utility paper included in those funds) is a darn sight better than getting -67% listening to Brinker.

Wow, I actually felt a twinge of vertigo looking at this chart:

You've done well. The question is can you continue to do well and outperform equites going forward or will you eventually make your own QQQ blunder?

BTW, a balanced fund, 50:50 VTSMX:total Bond, is down perhaps 3.95% since 12/31/99

No market timing involved... just 50:50... returns would be even better if the portfolio was rebalanced every month as you'd sell into the bubble and buy into the dip.
