I don't have a deep explanation for this. It's better than it was before, at least.
This is a random snapshot from some point at the middle of the day yesterday. I put my portfolio into Morningstar--it has the COOLEST tools to analyze your portfolio. It even recommends better funds. I don't have access to any of them, but good to know those recs are there. So, I use its price quotes to find the value of my bazillion tiny retirement accounts. It wasn't easy to make pretty charts in Google Docs, for that I think Excel is better. But this is what I came up with.
I like international--it's a big world. I don't see any reason to tie up my money in the U.S. economy just because I happen to live here. The funny thing is, the advice is the same everywhere. In Australia, invest in Australian stocks; in Europe invest in European. I don't buy it. I want to be diversified in a much deeper way. Besides, my life (jobs) is already tied to the U.S. economy. Going forward, my 401K will increase the starred accounts, so the blue and gray will (hopefully) grow.
And it's always good to know your percentages are not far off Jonathan's. I bet that man uses more charts than me!
