BlackRock's Bob Doll says the investor needs to realize where we are in both the economic cycle and the market cycle, and he has some suggestions about where to re-adjust a portfolio.
"This is a time to be dollar-cost-averaging out of safe assets — Treasurys — into more risk assets — equities and corporate bonds," he told CNBC.
