How are you dealing with this volatility? Being diversified in emerging markets, international developed markets, and even bonds has left portfolios down after 2018 Q1.
Are you taking this as an opportunity to buy more at equity prices not seen since Oct/Nov 2017?
Are you taking this as a sign that you need to add stability to to your brokerage (taxable) accounts? Or is your brokerage account (in addition to 401k/IRA) something you are ready and willing to take a 20 or even 30% loss in?
At this point, the DOW and S&P are 10-12% off their highs. The S&P going down another 8-18% in the coming months (Sell in May...) seems entirely possible.
I am increasing my bond exposure a few % in my 401k, and in my brokerage account I am debating on adding VWAHX (vanguard high yield tax free). I like the idea of tax free money in my brokerage account adding stability.
