I'm diversified in truly stupid directions. I was leaning heavily towards bonds until the end of the year, then noticed that a couple lazy portfolios were swatting my ass, so I rebalanced.

It hasn't been good for the portfolio, but TDAmeritrade keeps informing me that these gigantic ETFs I own are paying me a disturbing amount of money every month. So while the value of my portfolio is dropping, the return from my portfolio is actually greater every single month just from f'n dividends.

These are the things that they don't tell you.

To be fair, I also am holding back giant chunks on auto-triggered buys at like 20% drop. So yeah. I'm in a lot of cash right now, and have been.
