About This Episode

3. I am 43 years old and have about $90K in a CD that matures at the end of the month and want to know: how would best get it into the market with so much uncertainty with the economy/covid/social unrest? I know it’s bad to time the market but… 2:10

4. I am 35 and have several hundred-thousand in retirement accounts and a few hundred-thousand in a taxable account. Which equity asset classes should I have in each portfolio? 35:54

5. In you Best-in-Class ETF recommendations , you have DLS for international small-cap value. I notice 31% of the fund is invested in Japanese companies. That seems very risky.  Please explain, why did you chose this fund? 40:46

6. Do you still recommend small-cap value for your strategy that turns $3000 into $50 million ?  43:30

7.  For someone in a high tax bracket do you recommend a short-term tax-exempt or corporate bond fund? 52:30

8.  You mentioned you and your wife hold a portfolio of both U.S. and international stock funds in the equity part of your portfolio.  I would like to stick with a U.S.-only portfolio.  How much difference should there be in the portfolio returns of the 4-fund combo  and the  10-fund Ultimate Buy and Hold Portfolio ?  56:35

Note:   This article  includes the ETFs and mutual funds we recommend for the 4-fund combo.
