What is the best % of diversification for financial gain in California market at this time.?
Question:
Stocks
Bonds
Gold
International accounts
Answer:
I'll assume the California part applies only to real estate and "international accounts" are non-US stocks.
If I were just aiming for home runs without regard to risk, I'd say 20% in Japanese stocks and 80% in emerging markets all over the globe, with a heavy concentration in Asia.
For a super-aggressive portfolio aiming for singles, doubles, triples, and home runs, I'd recommend this allocation, but I couldn't sleep at night myself with this much risk:
Real estatate 0% (can you spell bubble?)
US stocks 40% with 60% or more in small-caps
Gold stocks 3% (none in bullion)
International stocks 57% with 30% in Japan, 20% in Western Europe, 5% in Australia, and 45% in all emerging markets, especially concentrating on Asia.
