I'm probably older than 90 per cent of folks here and my portfolio is pretty much all equities. Yup, it hasn't done well the last decade but my philosophy is I just buy more of the great companies I own and the more they suck the more I like buying them, assuming they are still good companies. Many of you are young and those who don't get this need to rethink your point of view on buying stuff on sale. Buy on sale! This market will turn and when it does it should be big.
