How much account do you take of the global uncertainty and the increasing warning signs about the Australian economy?  i.e. the potential for definite risk of capital loss in the share market?

Imo to focus just on the yield is very risky.  I'd be very reluctant to put a large proportion of my available funds into the market under these conditions.


Should add the proviso that if you are generating a living from another source (eg salary) then that's quite different.

But if one is retired, capital preservation has to be a greater priority.
