Being retired and being somewhat conservative now, especially since we have not started social security, I've been cutting back on stocks and was looking today at the numbers for my main 2 accounts. I had cut back in January and only a bit more on the green days.

Currently at 40% stocks/metals. The rest of the money is mostly in treasuries of various durations including some money in TIPS.

Of that -
60% US
34% Intl
6% gold

I think I'll likely lower the US portion even further until things settle which I don't think will happen for quite some time. My only regret was not putting more into gold and international early this year since my gold position is up over 20% and all of the international positions are in the green.

Oh, BRK has also done amazingly well as one of my few individual stock positions and seems excessively high.
