My matkey accounts are earning 15.5% that I monitor and my F! (with charges) is less than 11.... so, there's that.

I AM OLD BB! And I am OK with that.

Prayers for Ben YES , and best generation YES! You are smart man, that is why I am so lucky to have you as a friend.
The market has been on fire, but I feel a pullback / correction is in the near future. I would normally let things sit, but my portfolio is too aggressive at my age. I normally do an adjustment about every seven years. This one is quicker, but I only changed 10% of mine, so it was a minor adjustment. I have good funds. But will need to make another one in the near future. Loosing $700k would kick my @$$!

You are not old! And you don't look like it either no matter what the other dudes on here say.

Luckily hubs has a great pension and lump sum, so unless he leaves me for a younger woman with bigger tits, I should be ok too.
We are well diversified and I am not worried about anything.

We need to talk about coins someday. I have a nice hoard

I think you are safe on the last comment. You don't have to worry about either. The Hubs is waaay overchicked. Don't tell him I said that though.

Additionally, bond yields ae incredibly low, so taking money out of stocks currently zooming up at 20+% per year to invest in bonds earning 2-3% takes some very real discipline.

I never planned on "reducing" my stock holdings as I approached retirement, instead I pictured stopping investing additional funds in equities, and let the allocation slide down on its own as I invested in other asset classes. Obviously, this hasn't worked. It is always painful to "punish winners" by selling them because they became too valuable.
I could hardly agree more. But I am betting a pullback / correction is coming. I have a few stocks that are up 35% in two years and I am seriously debating selling them, even though they are blue chip stocks I bought to keep for 30 years. But I am certain I will hang onto them.

Received a new private message on Ford Powerstroke Diesel Forum.

Hello! I really like guys who are interested in cars. I would like to imagine this! Can we talk? You can find me here in my profile.

I clicked the link and it took me a website that displayed unsavory naked inappropriate pictures of women.
I think that women isn’t really interested in me.
