Asset Allocation is a popular term in financial circles these days. You can read definitions that are as long as a paragraph. My definition, however, is simple. Asset Allocation is your mix of stocks, bonds, and cash. There's no magic to investing; if the market goes up, your account goes up with it and if the market goes down, your account will likely follow it. What you may control, is the degree to which you participate in the fluctuations. This link demonstrates the returns (greatest one year, worst one year, and since inception) of ten portfolios from 1926-2009 that differ only in their mix of stocks, bonds, and cash.
