He IS pretty much always wrong. His "Strategic" growth fund has returned an annual NEGATIVE 6.3% over the last 10 years while the rest of the stock market has been booming.
Yeah but his goal is to assume a certain level of risk😂
Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. If risk is what you are about, then play board games, go rock climbing, or participate in a space mission, etc. There is always an objective, and how you reach that objective. Risk is not an end-point, unless you are doing a study on risk itself. Unless you are interested primarily in morality/social responsibility like ESG, your motivation in the markets is return. You can spread it over whatever timeframe, smooth it as you like, it is about return.
Risk is about what? Risk of loss? Risk of capital reduction? Risk of lower yield? Risk of inconsistency of income? If you are in the markets, risk is always expressed in terms of return.
Idiot, I am interested, maybe I have utterly failed to apprehend your point. Maybe if you gave a specific example of a motivation other than return, I would see the light.
Otoh if you guys see this as going nowhere, I will stop...or cease and desist, for gente.😁
I always feel ornery in the US. Must be the water 💧
