I think the theory makes a lot of practical sense. If you talk to the average investor there's a ton of personal preference for a example hedging against a currency collapse (pretty irrational, but it's there. Especially if you ask Bitcoiners) avoiding brown, investing heavily into ESG and so on.

[@ToddMatthewsFitness]

Mostly here for repetition but I certainly learned some things today. Thank you!

[@n00dle_king]

Thank goodness he said this. Made it dead easy to disregard his recommendations.

[@mp2958]

Larry mentions that he recently recommended a "risk parity" book. Do you know what book he is referring to?

[@AAkCN1]

[@roberts8783]

imagine an suncream company and an umbrella company. both return 10 percent per year with opposite correlation to each other. they make up the whole stock market. you buy the whole market to reduce the risk or portfolio variation. the asset prices are based on the lower combined risk/variance of holding both companies so anybody buying individual stocks pays too much as the individual risk is higher.

[@rationalreminder]

Unless you have an information advantage which is what most people buying individual stocks think they have.

[@roberts8783]

@@rationalreminder indeed! unless you have the weather forecast

[@markhebner1188]

You need to source Burt on this idea of sunscreen and umbrellas.

[@DeathEater93]

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand is my favorite book!

hi guys I started reading Car Leasing Done Right. Invaluable ressource !!

[@prestonlui6451]

I think you missed the link to car leasing done right

[@douglasnielsen6599]

are the market portfolios, mean-variance and multi-factor efficient, mutually exclusive and conditional upon an investor's risk aversion? that is what I am understanding, if I am understanding it correctly.

[@Martin-qb2mw]

Modernism in literature is 1910 or something? Modern jazz is 1940. For situations like these, the word contemporary is useful to differentiate between the concept of modernism (might be old) and contemporary (present day).

Hi Ben I know you’ve talked about the irrelevance of dividends before but does that change when it comes to dividend reinvestment plans? Does automatically growing your position beat capital appreciation?

[@robertwright8844]

Dividend reinvestment is a long-standing feature and it doesn't change the irrelevance of dividends. Dividends are just a decision by the company to distribute earnings to shareholders instead of reinvesting in the company, usually because the company is relatively mature. The main way in which dividends are _not_ irrelevant for the investor is the increase in taxes.

I"m not from America. Is head shaving a Canadian ritual?

I'd say this was a little too thick for a podcast. More like an evening with some graphs and equations. But maybe there is someone who can understand you on the go.
