In this episode we answer emails from Jamie, Jean-Luc and Geordi.  We discuss a paper about REITs as a separate asset class, what to do about struggling bond funds, the value of small-cap value and choosing a retirement portfolio in line with Bill Bengen's recommendations.

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