There are low volatility stock funds that could withstand a market crash pretty handily, so why not substitute those? Reminds me of late 1999 when I correctly predicted that AMZN would peak, sold it all and put it into "safe" GE, which went on to lose about as much as AMZN did. There's no...

In my experience, blue-collar and even middle-class perspectives are not often welcomed on this site.

Interesting. I never realized that 50 companies make up half the index. So someone following Buffett's advice that is frequently posted here to just use a S&P 500 fund would have half of their money in 50 stocks. In_reality: Investors can easily do much worse than have half their money invested...
