Did you sell in May and go away?

With major stock markets at all-time highs have you rebalanced your portfolio?
What is your asset allocation as of now considering your time horizon until retirement?
I have not made any major moves but I'm thinking about parking most of my assets in cash for awhile.
My current asset allocation is roughly 50% stocks, 40% cash and 10% bonds.
I have a time horizon of about 20 years until retirement.

You have 40% of your portfolio doing nothing except sitting there?

I had those funds in bonds for most of the last 5 years. I went to cash last year anticipating the tapering of bond purchases from the fed.
I can't get the pullback I want to put this cash to work and I refuse to do so until I get a pullback.
I know I'm conservative and that's why I made this post. I have a brokerage account to buy out of the money calls and puts when I want to live dangerously.

Nope, I've let it ride and my portfolio has gained another 2k or so over the past month

I've got ~25-30 years until retirement so I'm right there with you letting it ride.

I can handle major fluctuations as I don't need to touch it for years, however playing the jump in/out game would likely cause me to miss out on a shite ton of dividends...

I have reallocated from higher beta equity funds to lower beta plays. I might give up a little on the upside but I am okay with that.

30-40 years til retirement and my retirement accounts are about 98% stock funds.
I do keep a sizable amount in my checking and savings accounts which places me at about 25% cash and 75% stock funds.

I have rebalanced within the last two weeks but just to make sure I got back to my target allocations. Cash is still zero.

I have a significant percentage in cash. I'll miss out on upside, but in 2007 I went to cash, and in 2009 I bought the market not quite at the bottom, but low enough. It seems to have worked out ok for me.

I thought about it, but stayed the course.
If oil stays at these levels, I am going to have to consider taking my ball and sitting on the bench.

I wish I'd had 40% of my portfolio doing nothing as of January 1, 2008. That being said, I am still shoulder deep in equities today with modest downside protection.
