So if stocks go way up, now they're 75% and your bonds and cash are only 25%, that means you have to sell some of the stocks to get back to the target you already set.

And that's automatic.

It's not voluntary.

It's a procedure.

voice-verified
But the people who get scared usually don't earn very good returns over the long run because over time it pays better to be an optimist than a pessimist.
voice-verified
I think you want to be very cautious about making a drastic certain change on the basis of an extreme uncertain forecast.
voice-verified
