Today we are talking about building a balanced portfolio and get into two different questions about asset location. We discuss TIPs and when and if you should use them. We get into portfolio allocation and discuss if it is too risky to have a 100% stock portfolio. We walk you through how to buy ETFs and end with a discussion around investing in films.
