>what are you doing to weather the (inevitable) storm?

Stay invested in equities. Keep some cash on hand as an emergency fund in case you lose your job, but just don't sell your stocks when the market is down. Stay diversified and stay in the market.

Agree 100%. Always worth noting that you should have an asset allocation based on your risk profile. If you need the money to pay for your kids college and it is less than 5 years away, don't have it in stocks!

Beyond that, equity allocation makes sense. You want to walk the line between not being able to sleep at night because the market is cratering and not being able to sleep at night in 30 years because you don't have enough money saved to retire the way you want to.
