Exactly where I am... thinking about income. In fact within the next few weeks will meet with an advisor to set the base holdings for dividend income... Then will move on from there tweaking things. I think rental RE is a great place to be but you've got to be willing to put up with the BS; I haven't shown a good capacity for that.

msmth: As I understand from what you said you have a self-managing IRA with 23% in ten positions. What do you mean by positions-10 different options, etc. or stocks or a combination of both? You plan to build up your portfolio to 30-40 options, stocks of combination of both with the rest for aggressive strategies? I don't know what you mean by aggressive strategies-very speculative? In the end, 75% of your total IRA monies will be in these 30-40 positions and the remaining as speculative cash reserve.
