The 25-hydroxy vitamin D level ideally should be between 30 and 50 ng/ml. [2013] - Joel Fuhrman

Hold equal amounts of Canadian, US and overseas stocks. For example, if your overall portfolio target is 60% stocks, you'd hold 20% in Canada, 20% in the US, and 20% in international equities. You can slit that last category into 15% developed markets and 5% emerging markets. (That mix of three-quarters developed and one-quarter emerging is a good rule of thumb.) [2021] - Dan Bortolotti
