In this episode we answer emails from Javier, Heath and Joao. We discuss Simplify's short VIX ETF, "SVOL", and the difficulties of investing in volatility, the anomalous circumstances of 2022 and how it affected treasury bonds, and a bit about taxation in Brazil (about which I really know nothing).
And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the seven sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.
