In this episode we answer emails from Brian, Wendy, and Midas.  We discuss the bond fund GOVT and how it fits or doesn't fit in portfolio construction, some basics about IRA conversions and retirement resources (podcasts and groups), and follow up on Episode 340 with a discussion on our pedagogical approach, the pluses and minuses of the Socratic Method and tilting at logical fallacies.

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