    "While any time of the year can prove to be a worthwhile time to consider changes to your investments, the start of a new year typically seems to arouse the most interest for this kind of activity. It is at this time that it has become clear which investments excelled in the prior year and which didn't, perhaps suggesting the new year will follow suit."

    Thanks for the read Ol'Skeet. I think most would agree that this is a good time to think over our allocation to various assets. You've linked a very in-depth article for those who care to read it.

    I'd agree that valuations look cheaper abroad - but come not without risk. Recently opened a small position in PIEQX - an international equity index fund. It's gone nowhere for several years now and impresses me as perhaps a "sleeper" in the realm of fund opportunities. To some extent I'm betting the Dollar won't continue to strengthen against these other currencies much longer. Since the amount is small, won't lose any sleep over this one. If it drops 10-20%, might buy a bit more.

    Regards
