Catching Up to FI
Recommended retirement allocation blueprint
Discussion of cash, gold, managed futures, bonds, and 40–70% stocks as a diversified retirement mix.
Frank Vasquez (aka 'Uncle Frank' to the FI community) returns to the show to talk gold and what this shiny speculation is actually doing in a modern FI portfolio. Frank is the voice behind Risk Parity Radio and has a knack for making even the most tangled concepts in life and investing feel approachable. In this episode he tackles:
- Gold as speculation, not a gamble
- Gold's role in accumulation vs. retirement
- Typical gold allocation
- Correlation & diversification
- Physical gold vs. ETFs
