[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1197217, member: 11246"] Agree except for 20% into metals. That's a bit high for my comfort. Thats the great thing about investing, some may like GE while others like BA. Me, I feel most comfortable putting a large chunk of my investment funds in SPY, a fund that pretty much mirrors the S&P 500. Most individual investors can not beat the S&P500. Nor can a good portion of financial advisors or other funds when you take into account fee's. Keep some money in a "fun" account for trading stocks, calls, puts and the like. This account I go in willing to loose but the goal to strike it rich. My 401k has not beat my SPY. My individual stock picks on the whole has not beaten the S&P. Yes, I have ad stocks that I have doubled in less then a year, but I have calls that went to nothing and other stock picks that lost money. All in all, I have made money but SPY is the sure winner year after year. I have yet had one of my accounts beat SPY. That's me, but we all have our beliefs and reasons. [/QUOTE]
