Episode 350: Skew And Managed Futures, Family Trucksters And Uncle Frank Says "Do Both"

Risk Parity Radio

In this episode we answer emails from Jeffrey, Justin and Matt. We discuss the concept of "skew" generally and in the context of investing in managed futures, a "station wagon" portfolio similar in macro-allocations to the new OPTRA sample portfolio, and the age old question of whether to pay down debt or invest. (Uncle Frank says "Do Both.")
