I currently have a mix, but have been gravitating to the safer side. Taxable account yields 5.1%, IRA 6.5%. When the wife retires Nov. 2010, I want to be able to take off for a while and not feel I have to check in. That said, I currently have over 100k on margin, with an 11k profit cushion after adding 10k worth of yielders to my portfolio from profit earlier this year. So I guess I want to feel safe when I'm not paying attention, and be reckless when I am. lol! For the record, that profit cushion was over 15k just last Wednesday. :(
