Rebalancing

What does it Mean? The process of realigning the weightings of one's portfolio of assets.
Investopedia Says... For example, if your portfolio's proportion of stock has grown too large for your intended assets weightings and risk tolerance, you might rebalance by selling some stock and putting it into cash or bonds.
