  • 4 Key Paths to Portfolio Flexibility in 2009 [View article]
    Any retirement funds that of necessity income oriented should include a suitable mix of the preferred ETFs such as PFF for a higher yield, blended corporates and treasuries, not forgetting TIP. Inflation is the 600 pound gorilla in waiting, imo. Don't forget the tax man cometh, sooneth, and shield that income.

    No need too buy my entire list. Pick and chose a small portfolio you are comfortable with.

    Response: I did certainly take pains to qualify this portfolio, but also know that no theory can predict the future. There is a little real estate exposure in the portfolio, although I agree you have to dig hard to find it. Perhaps if you read my posting(s) on real estate and my bio it will alert you that I am up to my yingyang in real estate and love it. For most investors, their home is all the real estate they want - and it is a big chunk of many total assets by default. Thanks for your comments.
