  1. Galloway says timing the market is nearly impossible, so holding 25% in stocks and 75% in other assets reduces stress without needing to call exits.
  2. The 'buy, borrow, die' approach lets you borrow 20 to 40% against appreciated stocks at low rates instead of selling and triggering a tax bill.
