“Anybody have different feelings about your portfolio risk than you did a year ago.„
This is my take on an allocation model mentioned in the book The Black Swan. The point of the book is things happen that you can't predict with risk models because of unexpected events ie..Lehman Bros, AIG, 9/11, 87 crash. So the best allocation is complete safety with 85% of your portfolio and complete diversified speculative small company stock with 15%. If they all go out of buisness you are down 15%. You also might have the next microsoft or walmart in it's infancy.
