In my retirement accounts, I only hold Mutual Funds. Why? More security. More diversity. I’m also open to holding ETFs, which are almost like Mutual Funds, but I try to stay away from stocks.
It’s good to rebalance every year or so. It’s been a while since I’ve done it. But because we had a decent dip recently, I think it might be a good time for me to do so. Plus, I have come across some excellent Mutual Funds in the Kiplinger’s magazine — I always try to buy their yearly issue focused on Mutual Funds.
Here are some funds which I like and which I picked mostly from that issue. I’m entering trades as I’m writing this post.

For added security, it’s always have to have some TIPS.
Recently reopened. Kiplinger’s Top 25.
