Yes, good topic.
FWIW, I'm semi-retired. My portfolio is generally 45-50% US stocks, 5-10% Foreign stocks, 35-40% Fixed Income (e.g. bonds/treasuries), 5-10% commodities & cash.
With interest rates being as high as they are (cash / bonds / treasuries making ~5%), it's a good investment - essentially no risk for a decent return. May be still for the near term, depends on how fast/much the FED brings interest rates down.
With Chinese government now taking action to improve their economy, more exposure in that market might prove prudent from a reward/risk perspective. Similar with other emerging markets (rest of Asia - including India, and SA - Brazil specifically).
Gold has been on a run. IMO, one should hold a few percent of this via a fund or the actual metal.
