I'm not gonna bet against the fed. Im not going to bet against politicians protecting retirement accounts and personal homes. I've got 30 more years until I get out of the market, might as well hedge against the dollar, only take out a bit to get a down payment on a home in a nice area, and try to catch the capitalist wave.

If you stayed in through 2008 till now, you'd be doing perfectly fine. If you had to take out money right after the collapse, ouch.

Ultimately your portfolio risk should reflect the cash needs of your age/health/lifestyle in the context of the economics of the time. However, we are in uncharted waters.
