Rebalance 401K

Today I reviewed Fidelity 401k performance.
Goal is to reach 150k by end 2013, but The 40% on Bond and Emergying market is returning about 2%!

The Dow in contrast has grown 16%.

So I rebalanced as follows:

40% large cap index vanguard 
40% mid cap index also vanguard 
10% small cap
10% world growth income by American fund


Am I chasing return at the late stage of a growth cycle?

5/25/13:  the above rebalance felt too risky. After consulting Shuyi I canceled. New plan is to use brokerage link account, rely on tried and true mutual funds like mfcfx marsico flexible capital fund..

The Power from my Sponsors to Conquer JIRA Cases

Today's devotion is on John 19:30 ... when Jesus had received the vinegar, He said: "It is finished." And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit."

He died in order to restore that which was lost in the Garden of Eden: men living in fellowship with God.

Because He is our sponsor, He did not forget to send the Holy Spirit to work side by side with us day by day.

Translating to my focus on JIRAs this quarter, I see several sponsors: Sponsor in Chief, a plan-of-record sponsor Mark Guzzi who made the commitment to Torrie, and a mentor sponsor Azzedine.

There is also a customer sponsor who created the JIRAs: Steve Halter.

There are other stakeholder sponsors: Suresh B and Chris Henroid.


I'm at Sunday services for Youth 4S church, we sung about these verses: Romans 5:2-4.
I rejoice in suffering, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character, and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
