In this episode we answer emails from Slippery Steve, Keith, Brian, and Kyle. We discuss a momentum allocation strategy called "the 12% Solution" and complex allocation strategies in general, preferred shares and preferred shares funds, notions about correlations from Rick Ferri's All About Asset Allocation book (pub. 2005 and 2010), putting the Simplicity Principle in it's proper context (not the first priority), and a fun listener-provided sound clip.
