re: At how many years prior to retirement do you...

Everyone's situation is different, I have been retired 8 years, and remain heavy in equities keeping only money I will use in the next 2-3 years in interest bearing accounts and cash.. Look at it this way if you were not retiring for another 20 years you would probably not have a issue with investing money in equities. Assuming I live long enough I have money I will not need for 15-20 years, so why not leave it where it has the greatest chance of significant growth, seems like the same philosophy to me.

Good stuff right here, what everyone should do.
Keep 2-3 years in cash, that way all of your investments are not needed for 3-4 years. Buys you time to be patient and not shite about the near term market situation.
