What percentage of your portfolio is cash?

15% is my current mark, but considering moving that up to 30-40% with the expectation that the sh** will hit the fan within 6 months.
Curious to get the cash allocation thoughts of the other board participants.

5% or a little less, but I'm also young with with a long time horizon and high risk tolerance right now. Curious though why do you think the sh** will hit the fan within 6 mos.

Low GDP, massive debt, huge real unemployment, November elections, prolonged, low interest rate environment, banks making 3% down mortgage loans again

I was at 20% pre Brexit, but moved down to 2% before the vote. Did pretty well since, but I have been thinking about moving back to 20%. My thoughts are more along the lines of an end of year stock market slowdown along with the election soon. Not really a all hell breaking lose type scenario.
Haven't made up my mind as of yet though. Will probably decide sometime next week.

If you really believe all these things are bad then you must understand more central bank intervention is coming from all over the world. The US,Japan,Europe are all in this together now and inflation is the real concern thus stocks are all a buy and why we're at all time highs. Stocks are not expensive by any metric relative to where interest rates are. The SPY is still yielding more than a 10 year treasury.

Some people thinking that way a few years back are still waiting on the sidelines while the train keeps moving.

0% in my retirement accounts not counting whatever cash the stock and bond mutual funds hold. 46% cash in my trading account. Plus I have several hundred shares of Entergy getting ready to go long term shortly. I will be watching it closely as it goes ex-dividend next week.

About $10, enough to pay for a transaction fee on TDAmeritrade.

100% cash in retirement account. Taking all the risk in my business. Agree with some here that there is a bloodbath coming in the global economy sooner rather than later.

4%
With interest rates on savings at zero why have a lot of cash?

I agree that a bloodbath should happen, but how will it happen when every central bank on earth is artificially propping this market up. I think alot of people are missing out by sitting in cash.Stocks,Real Estate,art, basically every asset you can think of is at all time highs. I would love to see a crash to get in some things cheap but I've come to accept reality that fighting central banks is a losing battle.
