Bar, OT - check this out. Here's Ray Dalio's recommended 'All Weather Fund' portfolio, which has been back-tested for 75 years, as explained by Tony Robbins -


(from 8:15 to 14:45) -

Here's the allocation -


Stocks - 30%

Bonds - 55% (40% in long term treasuries, 15% intermed term)

Gold - 7.5%

Commodities - 7.5%


The idea is to fully balance the risk, and the bond % has to be so high because stocks are 3 times riskier than bonds.

I was especially shocked because my dad's portfolio has almost this exact allocation (if you replace the 'commodities' portion with 'cash'). His gold is only 5.5%, but will soon be boosted up to 7.5% :o)

Something very close to this 'All Weather Fund' is how billionaire Dalio apparently has his entire family fortune invested, at the above percentages.
