Lower oil prices took their toll on the markets this week, especially on Friday. On the flip side of the coin, this resulted in an improvement in bond prices. That said, we’re recommending that you remain 45 percent invested, but shift 25 percent of the portfolio from the equity funds to the bond fund.
