$4,000 dividends on a $205,000 portfolio is only a return of 2%.

1-2% dividend earning is what the S&P index earns.

Just investing in an S&P index fund provides equal or better rise in capital.

I agree, IroNat, but it is still interesting to hear other people's different perspectives on investing.

Boglehead philosophy is to continue investing in the same proportions regardless of predictions, correct?

So if you are 70% stocks, 30% bonds keep plugging in the same money as you were before.

Trying to time the market is discouraged. But if you were trying to time the market where would you park it? I keep mine in an MMA.

Money market or something fixed income is about all you can do.
