Episode notes

Common Sense Investing is an excellent book, but it was published in 2007 using largely information that was available in the early 2000s. Most of the literature we have today about risk parity style investing and diversification didn't exist then. And certainly that recommendation that you should just use a total bond fund and forget about analyzing that any further is an obsolete notion.

In this episode we answer questions from MyContactInfo, Wesley and Adam. In a tour de force presentation, we discuss Michael Mauboussin's book, "The Success Equation: Untangling Skill and Luck in Business, Sports and Investing", the implications of an all small-cap value portfolio and applying the ideas of Bruce Lee and Emerson to Jack Bogle's "Common Sense Investing". And we also take a frolic and detour into the Twilight Zone.
