Episode notes

Brett Aron wrote about a portfolio that has done well, at least recently and in the past. The article observed that this kind of portfolio would have outperformed a 60-40 portfolio over the past 50 years. This strategy beats the market with less risk, fewer upsets, and no-laws decades.

In this episode we answer emails from Alexi (a/k/a "the Dude"), the effervescent MyContactInfo, and Mike. We discuss a Portfolio Visualizer fund selection tool for factor investing, Merton and other academics, and an uncannily familiar diversified portfolio recently featured in a Marketwatch article. And we play some Motorhead and rant about financial media a bit.

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