A Reason To Rebalance My Equity Exposure Now

It has been several years since I rebalanced my equity exposure back to my core position.  I had been waiting until Shiller's CAPE ratio had reached the January, 2018 high of more than 34; and the Investors Intelligence percentage bulls had reached 60%.  Neither has happened yet.

That notwithstanding, to me, a possible exogenous event, a pandemic, if it were to occur, would wreak havoc on  the worldwide economy and stock markets.  I have no way of assigning a probability to that event. Due to this uncertainty, I have rebalanced my equity exposure back to my core level.
