Swedroe is always a pleasure to listen to. Awesome! Thanks.

[@ExcessReturns]

Larry always comes with his A-game. Thanks for watching!

Not sure I agree with his equating what happened in the Japanese stock market with what could happen in the U.S. market..as the two countries are so dramatically different, in so many ways..but obviously, it's not IMPOSSIBLE..and Larry is always extremely interesting to listen to!

Swedroe is my favourite investor and he is very generous with his time. My portfolio is still 100% small cap value. But I will add some of the insurance linked securty funds he usually recommends.
