Episode 196: Extended Duration Bonds, Books About Life Transitions, China And Portfolio Reviews As Of August 5, 2022

In this episode we answer emails from Davis, Justus and Value Stock Geek.  We discuss how to use extended duration bond funds like EDV, ZROZ and GOVZ, reprise our discussion about life transitions from Episode 71 and veer off into Peter Zeihan and China's demographics.  And THEN we our go through our weekly and monthly portfolio reviews of the seven sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.  Note that I discovered some of my return numbers were wrong (WRONG!) after recording this episode.  They are corrected on the website.Additional Links:Arthur Brooks book:  From Strength to Strength - Arthur C.
