There are people of the bearish persuasion who are saying "everyone thinks the lows are in," while you have more optimistic people saying "everyone thinks we retest the lows.

With the wild swings in the stock and bond market this year, it's likely that your asset allocation has gotten a bit out of whack. For example, a portfolio that started the year 60/40 (U.S. stock.bond) is now 54/46. This has a lot of people wondering, is now the right time to rebalance? In this post I'm going to explain what rebalancing is, why investors do it, and explore whether or not there is an optimal time to conduct them.
