Why a '60-40 portfolio is a great way to go' for investors: Anthony Saccaro

As market indexes hit record highs, consumers shouldn't get "ahead of their skis", Providence Financial & Insurance Services President Anthony Saccaro tells Yahoo Finance Live.
Saccaro notes that while markets are already betting on the Federal Reserve to initiate interest cut rates soon, officials are still heavily considering the trajectory of inflation. Though other factors have maintained resiliency for equities, Saccaro worries some may think "the stock market is going to go up no matter what" or even view it as a "safe haven." However, he stresses that's a mistaken assumption.
While inflation has steadied, Saccaro says he would "love to see it come down" further, though the data doesn't indicate significant declines just yet.

So the S&P 500 returns 10% from March 1979 to March 2009, December 1944 to December 1974, and December 1972 to December 2002. And that's say for a 32 year old taking it out at 62. That doesn't include the even longer run a 20 year old has. Then you have to factor in a 45 year old has to invest for 75 years old. 55 needs to invest for 85. I see no point in 60/40 unless you can really far behind and you push social security off until later on. Then you condense your withdraws into a shorter time frame.
