    For my SMSF portfolio I have gone for 100% Income stocks basically blue chip, the typical set and forget type of stocks.

    My mates have been trying to entice me to shift a small proportion of my portfolio over to growth/speculative stocks purley due to the fun & excitment including the discussion of such trading activities.

    I realise there are tax advantages for those over 60 in relation to capital gains made on trading such stocks.

    I don't mind placing a bit of risk to my portfolio for a bit of excitment when trading, however I would like to know what others were doing out there with the weighting on their SMSF portfolios.

    My mates possibly may be right, the Blue chip sit and forget income stocks do get a bit boring after a while.

    Would 10% or even 20% growth/speculative be a fair thing ?

    Looking forward to your suggestions and seeing what other are doing out there.


    Cheers
