We recently turned to respected and top-rated financial journalist, Natalie Pace, for her opinion on how to protect our hard-earned dough during these uncertain times. And this is what she said: “If you are over 25 and have lost more than 25% of your portfolio during the markets’ recent gyrations, your nest egg was never set up properly, nor was it “recession-proofed.” Then Natalie continued by saying that in times like these, you want to keep an additional 10-20% over-weighted into safety. That may seem overly conservative to some of you, but she has solid data to back up her opinions. In times like these, you can’t be armed with too much good information.
