This post mainly to test my ability to email a post to my blog before I leave for a high seas adventure. I'll only have limited connectivity, so being able to email in blog posts would be a real time saver.
I decided to change my allocation mix and my overall distribution of funds in my retirement account at work. My new split is 25% each to fixed income, large cap, small cap, and foreign investments. Probably not an ideal distribution, but then, my work retirement funds are only a portion of my overall investments. What I really wanted was a little more exposure to fixed income, handy way to gauge it a sector was over or under performing based on my own portfolio. That way I can make future redistribution and allocation choices more strategic.
My retirement accounts are still pretty small right now, so it's not a huge change in allocation, but they will be growing rapidly based on my current investment rate which is designed to maximize my TSP contributions for this year.
