Don't know what I will be like when I'm retired.
For now I tend to be all stocks except for now as I have moved to some cash as Imthink things through.
My philosophy for when I'm retired, at least what I think it will be, is this:
Move 5 years worth of living expenses to GIC ladders, conservative corporate bonds, preferred shares, other conservative/ liquid investments.
Keep the rest in stocks and rotate stocks out each year to maintain the 5 year buffer.
Should be as simple as that but will see in time.
