Depends on your personality and true appetite for risk. Hard to watch your port drop 35% or much more and just stay there for years. Sketchy income stocks will drop just as hard or go insolvent. Most start "trimming losers" after the damage is done and lock in losses. I'm not willing to endure that again. It's not fun. IMO there should be a lot of growth in your port during accumulation phase if you have to guts to endure it. It's not easy when everyone is saying the market is going to zero and it looks like they may be right.
