It's not there to save the portfolio...but maybe salvage the retirement in some black swan scenarios (1929 style market down 89%).
Between that, social security and the house we should hopefully still have a pre-black swan average retirement...no European river cruises but comfortable if sometimes tight.

Yo tape so red, it gives lessons in bureaucracy to the Chinese Communist Party.
Yo market so down, when I asked how to invest in the S&P 500 my broker said “it still has to fall another hundred points before you can buy at 500.”
Yo portfolio so wack, when identity thieves hack into it they end up owing money.

I’m all in - no dry powder.. (even some margin)…
Glad that I did not put in all my 401K yet..
I’m sure markets will peak every 15th and 1st…
Got 100K coming in in September - but that’s deferred comp - so that becomes sp500

Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
I suppose one way to identify the bottom is when the pundits downgrade stocks to underweight. So we're still mid-crash given that they only went from overweight to neutral.
A useful razor: anyone asking about speculative strategies on Bogleheads.org has no business using them.

Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
We're in a period of active price discovery. The blind euphoria of "buy everything cause it always goes up" of the past few years (barring the March 2020 blip) is receding a bit and investors are looking under the hood of what it is they are buying again. Seems like healthy market action to me.
