Episode 260: UPAR, De-dollarization Hysteria, And Using Risk Parity Portfolios For Intermediate Term Goals

In this episode we answer emails from Drew, Carlos and Eric.  We discuss the UPAR and RPAR risk parity ETFs and their construction, rant a bit about TIPS, discuss attractive narratives about de-dollarization in the context of cognitive biases (the possibility effect and ignoring base rates) and how our adult children use a Golden Ratio-style portfolio to save for intermediate goals.
