Here is an allocation strategy that is evolving - Core - 10% Flex - 10-15% Core has 5% in individual LT stocks, and 5% in the S+P 500, to be held as LT buy / hold. Flex is in the S+P 500, and can be traded. So the minimum stock allocation would be 10%, and the max 25%. The current Core individual stock list is found here (link below) - https://investorshub.advfn.com/Stock-Karma-46109 (68 stocks plus 2 sector ETFs) ---
