I'm trying to do the same for my kids so I understand. I'm trying to use ETFs to mitigate the company specific risk. There's still sector risk for stuff like MLPX if the whole pipeline sector gets whacked but it helps if just one company blows it. Bonds could blow up in a Leyman Bros type scenario too but I'm in SPFF BDJ etc.
If we ever get a real correction to historically normal or below valuations, I would just let the magic of indexes do the work and put most of the rest in SPY, QQQ, MDY etc.
Figures, Thursday after the close and I can finally pay attention to the market. My fuel tank just ran out and I'm out in my tractor. I knew I was low but I was waiting for fuel prices to drop further. Now I have to hope MFA gets my tank refilled tomorrow or I'm down until next week sometime.
Guess I could do the 5 gallon can thing but I hate trying to balance, carrying the cans while climbing the tractor and then holding it while it slooowly emptys.

Can you think of a better plan?

I kind of like the ETF SDOG. It's the highest paying dividend stocks of the S&P 500 in each major sector... A low cost index fund. It is rebalanced by a formula every year so it doesn't get too stale.
