Based on your earlier post, I did make a change in the Vanguard portfolio moving some short term Treasury, 5 year Corporate Bond and Treasury Money Market into (1) VCMDX the Vanguard Commodity and (2) VSGAX their small-Cap Growth. I currently hold VMVAX (Mid-Cap Value), VIPSX (Inflation Protected), VGSLX (Real Estate Index), VDADX (Dividend Appreciation Index Fund), VFIAX (500 Index Fund). Still have VFICX (Intermediate Term Investment Grade Bond) & VFITX (Intermediate Treasury) to deploy on any significant correction. Plan is to put into their real estate REIT fund. The big move for me was starting that VCMDX (The Vanguard Commodity Strategy) last month. The idea is it is supposed to capture the run in commodity prices and provide a hedge in inflation and really kick in if there is 'hyper-inflation'. It's more to protect purchasing power and insurance for a 'Black' Swann event from inflation. FWIW, the dividend appreciation funds continue to perform and spin off dividend returns which I have reinvested 50% back into the fund and 50% into TIPs.
