Summary

Episode 147 is a Meb Short. In this episode, you’ll hear Meb discuss a critical topic to consider for investors…The portfolio that helps you get rich isn’t necessarily the portfolio that’s going to help you remain rich. In this piece, Meb explains that risk-free assets often considered “safe,” aren’t exactly that, if viewed in the proper context. He proposes that with some thought, a strategy can be engineered to offer expected drawdowns similar to T-Bills historically, while at the same time, going above and beyond by historically offering exposure to some positive performance after inflation. All this and more in episode 147. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It was originally the two-part concept of questions we get a lot from people where I think the conclusions are not what most

1:04.8

investors would expect and I think they fly in the face of most of Wall Street wisdom and they

1:10.0

really come from two prongs of what people ask me a lot. The first being, hey,

1:14.3

Mab, I've won the game, I'm wealthy, I have whatever the number is, 100,000, a million,

1:20.1

10 million, 100 million, and I want to stay rich. I want to protect my wealth. How do I do it?
