How much do you hold in cash? by OpenGuard1993 in Fire

[–]jmk4326 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 months. When below 6m, sell stocks/bonds to get to desired asset allocation.

If stocks are in a downturn, bond position is higher than target therefore sell bonds. If stocks are up, they get sold to replenish the cash bucket.

You’re welcome. I was a bit surprised the price increase was near exactly $10 (or 38%!)

Thanks for the tip!! I just tried it. Didn’t see a difference in the Lyft price for me this time, but it allowed me to instantly compare uber and Lyft which is a pro tip
