I joined Dr. Daniel Crosby on the Standard Deviations podcast for a wide ranging discussion about portfolio management and navigating the conspiracy theories of the financial markets.
This one’s short and sweet at just over 30 minutes. We covered a lot of ground and Daniel is a great host. Check out his podcast here.
Tune in to hear:
– What is “Defined duration investing” and what behavioral upside might this approach have for investors?
– How can you better organize a bucketing approach to reflect those investments’ time horizons?
– What about the tendency for all time horizons to become today in the face of behavioral pressure – how can we protect ourselves from this?
– Why is the myth that “China owns the USA” constantly perpetuated?
– A lot of people think quantitative easing is just printing money – why is this a myth?
– Are governmental actions, or lack thereof, partially to blame for where we are at with inflation at the moment?
– Are we on the cusp of losing reserve currency status or is this a myth?
– Why does Cullen think there should be more nuance around the “buy and hold” principle?
– What are some pragmatic applications and implications of the financial myths that Cullen has busted on today’s episode?
