It seemed my portfolio was on track to reach $600K mark this year. Total portfolio value was $598,316.84 as of end August with equity allocation of 44.06% and bond/cash allocation of 55.94%. Return YTD was 5.1%, XIRR YTD 8.19%, and XIRR since inception at 6.75%. I injected $4,000 fresh fund into the portfolio.
Though there are some stocks I'm interested in, I'm not keen to add to my equity allocation at this point. My last equity purchase was 8 months ago in December 2016, and I've been sitting tight since. When will be a good time to buy? I guess I don't know, but I'm ready when opportunity present itself.
