Well, I finished reading Bengen's book. In a nutshell, maintaining his prescribed asset allocation is the key to both optimizing and stabilizing one's safe maximum withdrawal rate. My asset allocation has drifted to 70-30 stocks/bonds&cash, well away from his model as the stock market has been on an upward tear.
