Vanguard Diehards advocate rebalancing one's portfolio annually (e.g. the first day of the new year, your birthday anniversary, etc.).

Do you rebalance annually, after a market correction, etc.

I am still planning to adjust things (only) in January.

Maybe the Titanic is sinking and I'm too dense to get into a lifeboat now (instead of in Jan, 2008).

I'd appreciate your perspective.

I have fiddled with my allocation and have given a lot of thought to rebalancing thresholds, but have made no set decision. I'm always looking to see what others do. I'd love to see that too, Ted.

I think you're 60% equity to 40% bonds, correct? Based on this post I'm guessing you're leaning small and valuey.

Thanks.
