Personal Investments • Re: For those retired, what's your plan for non-stock part of your portfolio when interest rates start dropping?

I don't have a plan on this increasingly likely scenario, and wondering what I might do...Looking for ideas, really. Currently 50% in stock and 50% in various cash equivalents/treasuries and CDs of various durations/moneymarket funds. No bonds currently as I never really saw that they've been strongly negatively correlated to stocks.

Already priced in. Too late to do anything about it.

Also, bonds have never been negatively correlated with stocks, and nobody said they were. They are uncorrelated.

Concepts like correlation must be specified over some sampling period. Indeed, over long time periods bonds have been uncorrelated with stocks. Over shorter timespans, however, they have been both positively and negatively correlated.

Cheers.

No they haven't.
