Studies show that maybe a 60/40 mix of equites and bonds give you the highest probability of successfully funding retirement.

Could you please post links to such studies, Boston (conscious that I was not madly complimentary towards you in another thread this evening)?

Like many good investors Boston has conviction. He's right in a way; a long term return of 8.5% compounding over many years is good enough that it's barely worth taking risks being too active.
