Re: " I'm not sure the old models and projections work as they were done with a 40 years of falling interest rates."

I have the same thought. Are bonds really less risky than stocks, with interest rates at historic lows?

The "120 - your age" rule is close to my current asset allocation; I'm probably slightly more weighted toward stocks, although I haven't computed it precisely recently. With all of the world's problems and with the S&P 500 at 1369 I'm debating lowering my stock allocation. But where to put the money.?.?

Best wishes,
