@Joe – to each his own, so long as they have a rationale. CC is a pretty smart cat (okay, actually he’s a human), and his rationale suits him (and many others) quite well. The heuristic of your age being your allocation to fixed income is blunt, but probably pretty good for many people. But I would say that more accurate would be to say that your FI allocation should be based on your risk tolerance. I’ve met some pretty aggressive octagenarians and some pretty nervous thirty-somethings.

Re the canadian capitalists personal allocation to fixed income. I don’t agree with it.

IMHO, your FI allocation should be determined by your age. For example, a 35 year old should have 35% in fixed income.

I’d just like to point out that I desparately want to see you in a dress…and a LOT of makeup. I cannot emphasize the word “LOT” enough.
