For those who have cruised out of the U.S. for awhile or those who are planning to cruise for long periods, do you actively manage your stock/bond portfolio when you are cruising? In these days of dwindling pensions I foresee that investment income is going to keep us independent. But I don't see myself cruising in remote areas watching the stock market and making trades. I know it can be done technically, but what I'm wondering is do cruisers do it? Or hire someone? Or invest in index funds and let everything ride? I've seen a good thread on keeping a house (or not) while cruising, but I haven't seen anything on managing a portfolio. Any good books or articles on this?
