Ofunkmaster: I'm just not sure it's ready for prime time with the funds that we have so far. In theory, it should work fine and I will link to something from the Rational Reminder podcast about using leverage and accumulation. If you want to experiment with this idea, I think the place to do it would be in a Roth IRA because you are trying to take the most risks to get the most reward.

In this episode we answer emails from Carmello, Trevor, Timothy and Andreas. We discuss some of the history of the gold standard and inflation, leveraged funds, portfolio reviews, short sellers and Fidelity's recent forays into risk parity.

And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the seven sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.
