It really depends on where I think I need to be in terms of managing risk. Sometimes it's ad hoc to take advantage of things like rising interest rates, etc. But overall I don't think about it too much and try to save regularly above anything else.

If so, how often, and is it an automatic process? Leave a comment if you like. I've re-balanced once, and it was a pretty irrational episode! Your post is reminding me that I want to write a post about the effect the collapse of Enron had on many people my age (early twenties at the time), specifically with respect to how we approached retirement investing.
