Quoted:Quoted:Seems to me you might need to diversify for the downside. The market corrected almost 70% from the March '09 lows.
There are several 2X and 3X inverse ETF's that might help you achieve this. But know, they are extremely volatile.
eh?

I had to google that shit to figure out that you do not understand my post.
Next time, please just say "I do not understand your post".
Your portfolio assumes sunshine/rainbows/skittles as each fund is invested LONG. Meaning you are betting that it is going to go UP.
Like I already mentioned, the stock market is up about 70% in a 16-month period. You might not want to buy high and sell low - which is what will happen if the market takes another dive (or monumental crash).
Therefore, these 2X and 3X inverse ETF's are a way to hedge your bets. Then you can still be long say 70 or 80% - but with some protection to the downside.
Research SDS, SRS, SKF for the 2X inverse ETF's; and FAZ, TZA for some 3X inverse ETF's. Also check out Proshares.com
