I am the same age and while I do think we will see a turn to the bear in the next 8-16 months I will not be making any changes anytime soon.

This good advice ?

Not really, and I’m the one who gave it. Diversify and don’t overthink it was the message. A 5 or 10% dip wont matter in 20 years, but there’s a reason 401k’s have daytrading blocks

Not bad at all, solid fund. I prefer FUSVX, but everyone situation is a different.

You should be aggressive and keep contributing at your age. Just watch the individual funds. If they aren't performing then move them around. Maybe get a fund that has a percentage of bonds in it but not a full bond fund. . 5% max.

Shouldn’t you be aggressive until your mid 40’s?

I like the age in bonds approach or bond % = age - 10.
Stocks can drop 70-80% in a really bad recession. You will be thanking the good Lord for every dollar you have in US government bonds when that day hits.
...unless it's a US gov debt default, in which case there is no investment rock you could hide under to escape the Carnage.

Just to clarify...this is still not a bear market?
