Episode notes

A foolish consistency is thinking something over and over again just because it was something somebody did in the past. And so that pretty much defines a foolish consistency. But we'll put those little hobgoblins aside now. Second off, we have an email from Paul. He writes after discovering you on the Chooseify podcast: "I have been devouring your podcast"

In this episode we answer emails from Lauren, Paul and MyContactInfo. We discuss Emerson and Thoreau and how we apply their teachings, comparing risk parity style portfolios with others using Portfolio Charts, and an article about Bill Bernstein's new bond ladder and how it fits in.

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