26 / high risk tolerance / 100% ETFs and mutual funds

helpful

Thanks all. Was thinking I was crazy for having 30% of my portfolio in individual stocks, 70% in ETFs/mutual funds. No bonds. Am 26, fairly high risk tolerance.

Thinking about shifting toward bonds or more toward ETFs.

I know I was just thinking of taking some risk off the table in the short term. Not a lot, maybe 10-15% of the total portfolio over the next year or 2. I’ve only invested in a bull market and it’s been a long one, so wanted to hedge. Either bonds or moving into cash or moving into something else that’ll fall less with a stock market drop - haven’t thought out the specifics.

I also only have 5 mo of emergency fund as cash, so fairly exposed to the market.

I hit my one year at my company on the 15th of November. I had lunch with my boss on the 10th and he mentioned a raise but not how much or when it would be effective.

Flash forward to now, we’ve had 2 paychecks since then and I haven’t received anything. He said last week he would let me know this week, but I’m getting frustrated.

He’s raising my billing rate effective Jan. 1, and I’m worried I won’t get my raise until then. Anyone have something similar happen?
