Soliciting financial advice

Soliciting financial advice 2017-04-20T23:34:44-05:00

This post is pretty far afield from the usual stuff on Vox Nova.  Like many of our readers, I have a company 401(k).  While not thrilled with my investment choices, I do at least have some choices.  Ideally I would like to be in commodities and Euro bonds at this point.  I don’t have either of those options.  Presently I’m allocated 10% Cash equivalent, 50% U.S. bonds, and 40% international equites.  The latter is divided between one fund focused more on Europe and the other more focused on Asia.  Since I’m foreseeing weak equity markets internationally, I’m not sure I’m comfortable with the risk there.  Our bond market is looking increasinly unattractive with inflation continuing to spiral higher.  My options are cash-equivalent, U.S. Bond, Domestic Stock, Aggressive Domestic Stock, European Equity, and Asian Equity.  How would you advise?
