Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial

On this episode of Simply Money presented by Allworth Financial, Bob and Brian break down a bold—and controversial—investment strategy suggesting nearly half your portfolio belong in gold, commodities, and even Bitcoin, with zero allocation to bonds. They dig into why some global strategists are losing faith in traditional portfolio construction, what’s really driving the fear around inflation and government debt, and why abandoning bonds altogether could create more volatility—not less. Plus, a reality check on cryptocurrency as a true currency, including what happened when El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender—and why it hasn’t delivered on its promises. Finally, they explain how smart bond management—like adjusting duration and laddering maturities—can still play a critical role in building a resilient, income-producing portfolio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
