I suspect if you know not to trust yourself to stay the course when the sky is falling, then you are in fact probably better off in the long-run with a less risky asset allocation. There’s plenty of evidence out there to show that the more you buy/sell/tinker, the more likely you are to get worse returns. Literally the best investors are dead people. So if you need some % of cash or bonds to stay the course and do nothing, that’s good. Which shows some self awareness and maturity. Ideal would be to dispassionately follow the math, but your strategy is the next best thing.
