Episode notes
Use AI As A Brainstorm, Not Final Authority
- Test machine suggestions but get human validation before making large portfolio changes.
- Use AI as a brainstorming tool, not an automatic financial plan.
Prefer Broad International For Long Horizons
- Replace niche international high-dividend allocations with broad international exposure for long horizons.
- Favor growth or value international funds over income-biased ones when you have decades to invest.
Bonds Often Represent An Income Bucket
- A bond allocation often reflects an investor's cash-flow bucket, not only risk tolerance.
- If you earn income, you may not need bonds; bonds can serve as your income bucket instead.
