Last week was one of the worst weeks since February or March. S&P 500 and Aztec were both down 2.27% for the week. Small cap value represented by VIOV was not down so much it was down only 0.92%. Gold was up last week. I love gold.
In this episode we answer an email from Judy. We discuss a 2013 Michael Kitces article about risk parity, which aspects we have incorporated and which we have not (and why), and then talk about an interview of William Bernstein about his new book and some related thoughts and ramifications about bonds, crystal balls, annuities and other things. (Note: I think I said it was the 4th edition, but its really just the 2d.)
And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the seven sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.
