I now wonder if I should gradually begin selling my ETFs, Mutuals, and stocks and move all the money into fixed income.

I know the outcome will be lower and stable, but I won't have to deal with the daily ups and downs.

I'm familiar with the 60/40 rule but wonder if I should go 0/100.
Actually, the 60/40 rule changes over time. I believe it’s something like 100 minus your age. So when you are 100 you will be in all bonds! Personally, I’m in a similar boat as you so I’m not going to change what has worked for me all my life other than factoring in tax implications.
