Average annual return for 100% stock = 10.2%

Average annual return for 70% stock 70/30 = 9.1%

The difference is only 1.1% per year.

1.1% per year is significant when compounded over decades.

ThankYouJack,

You do not have decades before you start withdrawing from your portfolio.

"Good points. I started investing shortly before 2008 so didn't have much to lose then, but do remember numerous companies folding. 18% loss in one week."

That means so far, you do not have to rebalance in a serious market down turn. You were never tested.
