What percentage of your portfolio do you currently have in cash?

Sometimes I read that someone doesn't have any cash left, which seems a bit risky to me, especially when the market may fall even further. I try to keep about 10% to 20% of my portfolio in cash as a reserve.

Sometimes it happens that there is not much cash left, but so far I haven't had a problem. I have about 5% in cash.

Is that good enough for you even when the bigger dips come?

I try to keep it somewhere around 10% to 15% because of the potential downside.

Great, that seems about perfect to me and I have it anyway.
