Episode notes

I was unable to duplicate what you had done, but I did go back and run some more simulations at Portfolio Visualizer of Golden Ratio type portfolios. As always, what's more critical is comparing one portfolio to another because obviously you have to hold something in retirement or not in retirement. And so you really want to be actually comparing two portfolios over a similar time frame. But thank you all for your support. It's top drawer, really top drawer.

In this episode we answer emails from Thirsty Horse, Alexi (a/k/a "the Dude") and Mark. We discuss our charity, assorted Monte Carlo simulations on Portfolio Visualizer and data sources, rebalancing of leveraged portfolios and the choice of leverage (follow up on Episode 259), Flight of the Conchords, and the pitfalls of trying to use valuation metrics as crystal balls.

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