In retirement, and really in life, I like to avoid the big mistake but with investing it is tough to do. I guess you can either buy puts to try and lessen to blow of a big 30-50% drop in the market and a very slow recovery or just reduce the % of money in equities but not much else. Right now despite what some are saying, it seems like we are dealing with significant inflation in most areas of life but with lowering interest rates which means things like treasuries, CDs and other "safe" investments are losing to inflation.

I suppose adding to gold holdings and maybe more international stocks are the best paths to go forward.


Any other ideas?
