Probably more like 75/25 (25% being Energy). My 401K has no Energy Funds, and my IRA is being split 50/50, so I can buy on the way down. As/When oil rises and as do the funds I will reallocate contributions and become less energy sector heavy.

You have a long time to go. So as you dollar cost average your positions over time, I think you'll be fine. Right now, you have some pretty heavy energy sector exposure, so your portfolio is getting whip-sawed because of the recent volatility. But as you rebalance your contributions in the future, that will help to even things out.

Now, if oil takes off at some point, that might cause you to once again be overweight energy. Periodically rebalancing is just something that you have to do to avoid being overweight in a security or a sector.

Good luck.
