In this episode we address emails from Thomas, Karen and Jeffrey. We discuss high-performing two-fund portfolios, Bill Bengen and Michael Kitces missiles into the Deathstar's crystal balls and exhaust ports, Karen's portfolio management, an updated and improved shortcut tool for analyses at Portfolio Visualizer and Portfolio Charts, and a query about investing in energy sector stocks.

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