I'll blame my Financial Advisor if this sucks. He has been working out, so he should be able to handle it:

Aggressive: 30% G, 0% F, 25% C, 30% S, 15% I. CAGR/IRR: 8.48%, Expected Variance/Risk: 11.17%, Best Year: 27.33%, Worst Year: -24.26%, Max Dump: -37.44%
Normal: 35% G, 0% F, 25% C, 25% S, 15% I. CAGR/IRR: 8.20%, Expected Variance/Risk: 10.26%, Best Year: 25.17%, Worst Year: -22.13%, Max Dump: -34.57%
Conservative: 40% G, 0% F, 25% C, 20% S, 15% I. CAGR/IRR: 7.92%, Expected Variance/Risk: 9.36%, Best Year: 23.00%, Worst Year: -19.99%, Max Dump: -31.63%

S&P500: 100% C. CAGR/IRR: 10.62%, Expected Variance/Risk: 15.39%, Best Year: 37.45%, Worst Year: -37.02%, Max Dump: -50.97%

Being even Older and Slower, and since I keep having to find and reference my own allocation models, here they are for my own viewing:

Aggressive: 4% G, 21% F, 32% C, 29% S, 14% I Expected Return: 6%, Expected Variance: 10%
Normal: 4% G, 36% F, 27% C, 23% S, 10% I Expected Return: 5%, Expected Variance: 8%
Conservative: 4% G, 46% F, 26% C, 16% S, 8% I Expected Return: 4%, Expected Variance: 7%

I used current Edelman portfolios and moved REIT assets to bonds (F) while moving Commodity assets to Mid/Small Cap (S).

I didn't really mean to 'delete' Cruzen's messages. They were just kinda old. He/She seems to be a nice sorta chap...

As of 1640 on Tuesday January 3, 2012 I am tied for 1st Place in the AutoTracker.

And, already I have done better than last year.
